I am a former firefighter and I was blown away when I found out that the Brits did not require sprinklers in residential high rises. The Europeans usually have excellent fire and life safety standards. It may not have gotten the outside of the building, however the inside occupants could have had a chance.
High rise fires give firefighters nightmares. Like fighting a fire in a chimney.

It is ALSO illegal to use in the UK, but if you bribe or threaten the local councils, you can attach any cladding you choose.

But those pesky regulations hurt profits.
