Zoe told BBC London Radio: "I was actually on the floor where fire started – the fourth floor.

"Someone started banging on my door saying there’s a fire and to get out.

"When I got on the landing it was thick with smoke but the smoke alarms weren’t going off, which is quite scary.

"Then I just ran down the stairs. You could see the fire is in one of the flats.

"They were saying apparently the fire was caused by a fridge freezer, don’t know how true that it is but the way the fire spread from the fourth floor all the way up was just scary.

"When we got downstairs we were seeing people in the building flashing their kitchen lights, bedroom lights trying to get everyone’s attention.

"I just hope they got out.

"People then started panicking, windows were falling out, debris started falling down.”

Grenfell Tower on the Lancaster West Estate was built in 1974 by Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council.

Only last year it underwent a £10m refurbishment as part of a wider transformation of the estate.

According to a report by getwestlondon, external last year it was funded by the council as part of a wider £67m investment in the area.

Improvements including installation of insulated exterior cladding, new double-glazed windows and a new communal heating system were carried out.

The two-year project was designed and delivered by the Kensington & Chelsea Tenant Managenment Organisation in partnership with Rydon Construction - it was carried out while all 120 flats were occupied.

BBC News' Claire Heald is at the scene. She says: "The top 10 storeys of the tower are still alight, seen from nearby St Ann's Road.

"Dirty yellow smoke is rising up into the otherwise clear sky above west London.

"Police and emergency services have sealed off the area and people are standing in the street watching the fire.

"Some are heading to work. Some are still dressed in their pyjamas, with coats over the top.

"The helicopter is overhead and firefighters are heading to and from the burning building."

Thames Water say west London residents will experience low pressure as a result of the fire.

Eyewitness Jody Martin said he got to the scene just as the first fire engine was arriving at Grenfell Tower, in Latimer Road.

He told the BBC: "I ran around the building looking for a fire escape and couldn't see any noticeable fire escapes around the building. A lot of debris falling down.

"I eventually gained entry onto the second floor, and once I got to the corridor I realised there was so much smoke there.

"I watched one person falling out, I watched another woman holding her baby out the window... hearing screams, I was yelling everyone to get down and they were saying 'We can't leave our apartments, the smoke is too bad on the corridors'."

Local resident Jody Martin described feeling completely helpless as trapped residents on the upper floors cried for help.

"I was screaming at people in the building that were looking out of the windows, trying to wake people up, telling them: 'Get out of the building!'

"And they were screaming back at me: 'We can't! The corridors are full of smoke!'

"I guess they stayed in because they thought the fire brigade was here.

"I've been watching people in their windows, flashing with their phones, and then slowly watching those apartments get engulfed in flames and smoke."

Saha told BBC Radio London: "I woke up at around 1.30am because of the sounds of sirens and people shouting for help.

"We came outside and we just saw that half of the building was in flames and it was slowly seeping up the other side and there were people signalling their lights on and off."
