Once the roof is a secure place then crane helicopters can be used to evacuate any residents that are unable to escape downwards due to the fire.
In my book, the loss of life at Grenfell would have been minimal if the roof had been equipped with a secure area, i.e a fireproof [asbestos cement clad] container on its roof.

I am thinking that the army barracks around St James park should be equipped with a chopper ready to go 24 x 7 manned presumably by the army royal engineers.
Regarding the banning of asbestos in buildings, what a really stupid decision that was. We didn't ban coal or other hazardous substances. What is required is to warn people of its presence and advise what protective gear should be worn if you are coming into contact with it.

What is also worrying, is how the fire broke outside of the flat. Either through an extract fan or the window, both of which should not have happened so soon.
