'His whole window was on fire'
Posted at 10:05
A woman at a nearby evacuation centre, who asked not to be named, told the Press Association about her experiences after the fire broke out.
"There was a woman stood behind me who was shouting to someone she knew on the seventh floor. She was on the phone trying to speak to him, she was obviously very emotional because the flats were blazing at this point.
"He looked like he was screaming to her.
"Police said for anyone at the windows to wave a rag or something so the firemen could rescue them, but we thought 'how are they gonna do that?'
"I saw the woman later and she was hysterical. She said her friend jumped. The whole of his window was on fire."
