It's almost a week since the fire at Grenfell Tower block in London, where its thought 79 people died.
This morning we are hearing from a resident of one of Hull's tower blocks, who says he hasn't slept since the fire in London, over fears that his block might be next.
Ian Hall used to live in Grenfell Tower in the 90's and now lives in the 12 story 'St Romanus House' on Hull's Bilton Grange estate:
Hull City Council say the hoses and fire extinguishers in the building were removed because they were vandalised repeatedly and they became a hazard.
This was done in agreement with the fire service locally and follows guidance by the Local Government Association.
They also say the wall paper in the hallways is not flammable and they've visited all high rise buildings to reassure people about the safety procedures in place and extensive checks have been made.
