#boltonfire

On the move again. Hopefully back home this evening if @irwellvalley have finished the doors on our floor. Couch surfing whilst holding down a couple of jobs is not recommended #BoltonFire #Bolton https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XYT9VlK6s/?igshid=ihn994ifw3pz

PLEASE SHARE #Bolton We’ve been let back into our apartments by @irwellvalleyhomes this morning to collect pets and essentials. My cat has gone. I’ve had him twelve years and he’s never been out so I think he’s going to be pretty frightened. It’s going to be some time before we can all go back to live. If anyone sees him out in the area, his name is Samson and he’s chipped. Please let me know so I can pick him up. He won’t let you pick him up. Please call me 07956 994644 I’ve let @RSPCABolton know also so I’ll be notified if he’s handed into any of the cat rescue places.

For those of you stating that there is no comparison to #Grenfell & the disaster of the #GrenfellFire at #GrefellTower, I appreciate that it is not the same cladding material, but the material (cladding and/or insulation) at the #BoltonFire is still flammable and clearly from these pictures you can see that the fire was catching on the outside of the building. This whole thing is political so I’m not apologetic that I am politicising it by stating that it was during the time of a @conservatives prime minister that majority #Conservative landlord MP’s voted against stricter building regulations. The book should stop at the MP’s decision and I really hope there is not another scapegoat blame like on the @london.fire.brigade like what happened at #Grenfell. The frustrating part of all this is I’ve heard so many times from so many people over the last few days, how lucky everyone is. It wasn’t luck. It was the hard work, constant practicing (since Grenfell) and coordination of @manchesterfire @gmpolice.uk @nwasofficial @boltoncouncil This shouldn’t be happening in the first place though. People (any people shouldn’t be living in there buildings and we shouldn’t be sending our emergency services into them #TORIESOUT #TORIESOUTNOW!!

Feel a bit stupid posting this but I’ve just been advised that we can’t go back to our apartments until Monday at the earliest. The block were I live had there doors broken in by the fire service to check there wasn’t any people remaining. My cat is still there because it’s too dangerous to go for him. He’s a house cat, never been out and I’m hoping he’s probably a little bit scared and hiding under the bed. If anyone sees him out in the area, his name is Samson and he’s chipped. Please let me know so I can pick him up 07956 994644 #BoltonFire (at Art Social Media) https://www.instagram.com/p/B47bOxiF8Md/?igshid=1tadawhszrr9k
