I don't think I would want to live in a highrise with a name that is associated with anything to do with "fire"

Inferno Tower
Blazing Tower
Torch Tower
Tower on Fire

You would have thought that after the fire in 2015 they would have upgraded the sprinkler system. I guess they thought " we had one huge fire what are the odds that it will happen again. "

Crazy to think it could happen again.

Wonder if the cladding was the same as the high rise in the UK?
