What was once a four-storey building is now just a shell.

You can hear The Block falling apart and black and white smoke continues to billow from it.

The closest building, which has also been evacuated, is quite Far Away so it is not possible that The Fire could spread.

However, the thick smoke is going into these houses and covering the entire block.

Residents from other parts of the estate have been bringing bags of clothing and bedding to the community centre to donate to Those People who have Lost Everything .

"As a safety precaution we have put in place a 24-hour patrol at The Buildings which we Manage . "
