Summary
Three men died in a fire at a long-abandoned council-owned building in White City, sparking outrage over neglect and mismanagement. Known to house homeless people despite years of community pleas for action, the property stood vacant for a decade — and the council was aware of its occupants. As investigators probe lithium batteries as a possible cause, grieving friends and neighbors condemn the council’s cold response, which failed to acknowledge the human toll. The White City Residents’ Association demands accountability, while police work to notify families — and the scene remains sealed as questions mount about who failed whom.
