A woman feared dead in the Grenfell Tower disaster after she made a heartbreaking call to her mother to say goodbye has turned up alive in hospital. 
 
 Fadumo Ahmed’s picture was on posters put up on the streets around the site of the blaze as friends desperately searched for information but heard nothing. 
 
 Ms Ahmed, 32, lived on the 19th floor of the block and shared a heartbreaking call as the fire closed in, telling her mother: “I can’t get out. Goodbye.” ||||| A woman who appeared on missing persons posters after the Grenfell Tower fire is alive and was saved by a fireman, her family revealed today. 
 
 Friends of Fadumo Ahmed, 32, who lived on the 19th floor of the 24-storey block, feared the worst after hearing no news of her. 
 
 However, it emerged today that she was pulled unconscious from the upper floors of the tower by a fireman, who saved her life. 
 
 Ms Ahmed, a cleaner, was taken to hospital in a critical condition suffering from severe smoke inhalation, but she is now recovering. 
 
 Her mother today gave details of the rescue and revealed that she had a heartbreaking phone call with her daughter, who told her: “I can’t get out. Goodbye.” 
 
 The blaze broke out in the early hours of June 14. (EPA) 
 
 
 
 Her mother had seen the fire at 1.10am last Wednesday and called her daughter at her flat, where she had been asleep. 
 
 During the next hour, Ms Ahmed, who could not get out of the building because of the severity of the blaze, climbed to higher floors with neighbours to get away from the heat and smoke. 
 
 At 2am, her family, who had been speaking to her by phone, lost contact with her. Her mother, who has asked not to be named, said: “In her last call to us she said, ‘I can’t come down any more. I can’t get down. I’m in God’s hands now. Pray for me. Goodbye.’ We all cried.” 
 
 Grenfell tower fire: How the disaster unfolded 
 
 About two hours later, as the family waited for news at the base of the tower, one of Ms Ahmed’s sisters saw the “incredible” sight of her being put into an ambulance. 
 
 In hospital, she told her family that she had collapsed on the fire escape on the 18th floor because of the thick smoke as she tried get out of the building. A fireman had found her unconscious and carried her down. 
 
 Her mother said: “He is a hero. He saved her life, it’s that simple. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have got out. 
 
 “We are just so happy she is okay. When we saw how bad the fire was and knew she was inside, it was terrible. We didn’t think anyone else could get out of there alive.” 
 
 Her family were with her in hospital, so were unaware that her friends had put her on the missing persons list. 
 
 The Met says that 79 people are dead, or missing and presumed dead. ||||| The full extent of failings behind the Grenfell Tower inferno was laid bare today as police revealed that a fire started by a faulty fridge-freezer ignited cladding and insulation that have not passed new safety tests. 
 
 Scotland Yard issued an alert over materials used on the west London tower after samples caught light easily during new independent checks. 
 
 Officials were so concerned at the findings that the information was immediately shared with the Government. It has alerted councils. 
 
 The tests on insulation samples taken from the tower were carried out by experts employed by Scotland Yard, which is carrying out a criminal investigation into how the fire started and why it took hold so easily.

 Today police also said they will consider manslaughter charges as part of their investigation. Officers have started seizing relevant documents from various organisations. 
 
 The Met said officials had established that the blaze started in a Hotpoint fridge-freezer. 
 
 A fridge fire is believed to have broken out on the fourth floor of the North Kensington block last week. 
 
 At least 79 people are feared to have died.

 Police said the fridge-freezer, FF175BP, had not previously been linked to any fires or subject to any recall. 
 
 Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack, who is overseeing the investigation, said early tests had been carried out on the cladding and insulation installed on Grenfell Tower during a recent £10 million refit. 
 
 She said: “What we are being told is that the cladding and the insulation failed all safety tests. 
 
 “The insulation was more flammable than the cladding. Tests show the insulation samples combusted soon after the test started. 
 
 "We have immediately shared the data with the Department for Communities and Local Government. [It is] sharing the information with local councils.” 
 
 Ms McCormack said the investigation “will seek to establish how the fire started and how quickly it took hold — the speed was unexpected.

 We will also seek to understand what happened to each and every person who died in the fire.” 
 
 Previously, police said they would examine everything from the cause of the fire to the management of the building, recent refurbishments and fire safety measures and whether panels were fitted unlawfully.

 Celotex, an Ipswich-based company, has said it made the insulation which fitted between the cladding and the concrete wall of the tower. 
 
 The firm said the product had Class 0 rating, which prevented flames from spreading and limited the amount of heat released. 
 
 Police said the number of people who had died or were missing and presumed dead remained at 79, a figure which has not changed since Monday. 
 
 However, Ms McCormack said the figure could still change and urged anyone who might have been in the tower and had not yet contacted the authorities to come forward. 
 
 She said neither the Home Office nor her inquiry were interested in the immigration status of anyone living there. 
 
 “Our priority is to identify all those who died — we do not want there to be any hidden victims,” she added.

 A total of 250 officers led by an experienced homicide detective are working on the inquiry. 
 
 Prosecutors are advising on possible corporate manslaughter charges. 
 
 Ms McCormack said officers had begun seizing documents from organisations involved but that nobody had been questioned because it is “way too early”. 
 
 She said charges of manslaughter and other criminal breaches, including potential breaches of regulations, would be considered. 
 
 So far, police have seized hundreds of hours of CCTV, listened to 600 999 calls and started taking statements from survivors. Officers are continuing a “painstaking search” of the tower. 
 
 Smoke billows from Grenfell Tower amid the fire (Reuters) 
 
 In recent days concern has focused on the cladding panels fitted to the tower during the multi-million-pound refurbishment. 
 
 So far, the Government has received samples from 11 high-rise buildings in eight local authority areas in the UK where the cladding has failed safety tests, including a number in London. 
 
 Premier Inn also revealed “concerns” today that cladding used on some of its buildings may not meet safety regulations. The hotel chain said three of its properties — in Maidenhead, Brentford and Tottenham — have been investigated during a “detailed assessment” of its estate. 
 
 A spokeswoman said the material was not the same as that used to clad Grenfell Tower. However, she said the company had called in an expert to review the safety of its buildings, who had confirmed they were safe.

 David Lammy, the Labour MP for Tottenham whose artist friend Khadija Saye died in the fire, has said issues relating to sprinklers, fire doors and the cladding should be investigated. He has asked why arrests are not being made. 
 
 Residential blocks in Barnet, Brent, Haringey, and Newham are understood to have cladding similar to Grenfell’s. But the problem may be far wider, with the safety spotlight shifting on to schools, hospitals, students accommodation, hotels and office blocks. 
 
 Samples of cladding were taken yesterday in Barnet where three blocks — Granville Point, Harpenmead Point and Templemead Point — are fitted with external rain screen panels of aluminium composite material.

 They are believed to be the same type, or similar, to cladding on tower blocks in Camden which the council has already started removing. The insulation behind the cladding on the social housing blocks in Camden and Barnet is understood to be non-combustible. 
 
 In Haringey, the Newlon Housing Trust confirmed that its 22-storey Rivers Apartments block, completed in spring 2015, is clad with Reynobond PE. 
 
 The building has a sprinkler system and other fire safety measures. 
 
 The London Fire Brigade carried out an extensive audit yesterday, making some “straightforward recommendations”. 
 
 A Newlon spokesman said: “With regard to the status of the cladding, at the end of last week we asked the leading independent experts the Building Research Establishment to review its design and specification and we are waiting for their technical recommendations.”

 Brent North Labour MP Barry Gardiner hand-delivered a letter to Octavia Housing at 3am today after being informed by Brent council’s chief executive, Carolyn Downes, that cladding on Elizabeth House, High Road, Wembley, “failed” a fire safety test. 
 
 This morning, Grahame Hindes, chief executive of Octavia Housing, said: “The safety of our residents is always our top priority. 
 
 "We were therefore very disappointed to hear this morning that some of the panels on one of our recently completed schemes in Wembley do not meet the highest standards expected by the Building Research Establishment.” 
 
 He stressed that Elizabeth House is a modern purpose-built block with a comprehensive fire strategy and a range of fire safety features including sprinklers in all flats.

 The Grenfell Tower fire in London started in a fridge-freezer, and outside cladding and insulation failed safety tests, police say. 
 
 The Metropolitan Police say manslaughter, health and safety, and fire safety charges will be considered. 
 
 A total of 79 people are feared dead after the blaze destroyed 151 homes in the Kensington tower block and nearby. 
 
 In Salford, cladding is to be removed from nine of its residential tower blocks because of safety concerns. 
 
 The city's mayor Paul Dennett said: "Government tests are under way but is already clear the cladding on our blocks must be removed. There will be no waiting around... while there are any questions about the safety of our residents." 
 
 Meanwhile, the government has ordered immediate testing of the Hotpoint fridge-freezer that was involved in the Grenfell fire. The model was manufactured between 2006 and 2009. 
 
 Whirlpool, which acquired the Hotpoint brand in 2014, said: "We offer our most profound condolences to the victims, those who have lost loved ones, homes, and possessions, and to their friends and families." 
 
 Nine of those who died on 14 June have been formally identified so far. Nine people remain in hospital, with three people still in critical care. 
 
 Police said the fire had not been started deliberately and the speed with which the fire spread was "unexpected". 
 
 A national operation to identify buildings with cladding similar to that used in Grenfell Tower has seen local authorities send samples for independent tests. 
 
 The Department for Communities and Local Government said 14 residential high-rise buildings in nine local authority areas have now been found with cladding that raises safety concerns. 
 
 The buildings identified are: 
 
 Horatia House and Leamington House in Somerstown, Portsmouth, where the city council is removing cladding after testing found it was a fire risk 
 
 Three high-rise blocks on the Mount Wise Tower estate in Plymouth, where cladding made of similar material to Grenfell Tower was found 
 
 Five high-rise blocks on Camden Council's Chalcots estate in north London where officials are preparing to remove cladding 
 
 Braithwaite House, one of eight blocks tested on an Islington Council estate 
 
 Denning Point tower block in east London where Tower Hamlets Council said the cladding "did not fully comply" with requirements 
 
 The Village 135 development in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, where 78 panels were being removed from one area of the site 
 
 Clements Court tower in Cranford, west London, where Hounslow Council says it will remove the outer cladding from the building 
 
 Rivers Apartments in Tottenham, north London has cladding incorporated as part of its design but after a safety audit was said to be considered a "low fire risk". 
 
 The Department for Education said all bodies responsible for safety in schools in England are being instructed to carry out checks to identify any buildings that may require further investigation. 
 
 One building is being checked in Northern Ireland as a precautionary measure. 
 
 But no buildings giving cause for concern have been found in Wales, while the Scottish Government said no council or housing association high-rise block in Scotland had cladding of the type used in Grenfell Tower. 
 
 The Metropolitan Police said four more victims - three men and one woman - have been formally identified. 
 
 But a spokesman said: "We have not named the victims or issued further details on request of the families. The families of all these victims have been informed."

 Preliminary tests on the samples of insulation showed it burned soon after the test started, and more quickly than the cladding tiles. 
 
 However, they both failed the police's safety tests - which are similar to those being carried out by the UK government. 
 
 Some 250 specialist investigators have been deployed to find out what happened. 
 
 Every company involved in the building and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower will also be looked at as part of the investigation. 
 
 Det Supt Fiona McCormack said all criminal charges are being considered "from manslaughter onwards".

 She said officers had been in the tower "from top to bottom", adding that next week a lift would be installed to the outside of the building. 
 
 She added the forensic search "may not be complete until the end of the year". 
 
 "There is a terrible reality that we may not find or identify everyone who died due to the intense heat." 
 
 What do I do if I have a Hotpoint fridge freezer? 
 
 By Kevin Peachey, BBC News 
 
 Anyone who has a white Hotpoint fridge freezer model number FF175BP or graphite fridge freezer model number FF175BG should register their appliance with the manufacturer to receive any updates. 
 
 Generally, the model number is found on a bar code on a sticker behind the salad container in the fridge. 
 
 These models were manufactured between March 2006 and July 2009. About 64,000 were sold but it is not known how many are still in use. 
 
 Owners should ring 0800 316 3826 or visit the Hotpoint website. 
 
 Fires connected to fridge freezers and other electrical appliances are relatively common. 
 
 More general advice on registering an appliance, should there be a recall, and other safety tips are available online on charity Electrical Safety First's page. 
 
 'Didn't pass any tests' 
 
 Det Supt McCormack says the tests carried out on the cladding and insulation were "small scale" but added: "All I can say at the moment is they [the tiles and insulation] don't pass any safety tests." 
 
 The cladding, insulation, fixings and installation will be examined, both individually and in terms of how they worked together. 
 
 "The investigation will be exhaustive," said Det Supt McCormack. 
 
 "As we learn more, the scope and scale may well grow. We will look at the refurbishment. We are looking at the panelling and the entire facade of the building."

 She said she wanted to hear about anyone who was in the tower, whether or not they were meant to be in the building. 
 
 She said: "I do not want there to be any victims of this tragedy that we do not know about. 
 
 "Our priority is to understand who was in Grenfell Tower. We are not interested in people's reasons for being in Grenfell Tower." 
 
 She said she was concerned they did "not have the complete picture" and reassured people not to be nervous about contacting them.

 "There may well be people who no one has contacted us about - who they know were in the building or have close links to Grenfell Tower. 
 
 "The Home Office has assured us that they are not interested in people's immigration status and we are not interested in looking at that. 
 
 "What we are interested in is making sure that we know who is missing and we take every possible step to establish if they are safe and well." 
 
 Whirlpool said it was working with the authorities to obtain access to the appliance so that it could assist with the ongoing investigations.
– In an emotional phone call, Fadumo Ahmed told her mom she was stuck on the upper floors of Grenfell Tower as the deadly blaze raged. "I can't get out. Goodbye," the 32-year-old said, per the Telegraph. In the days that followed, Ahmed's friends put her photo on missing posters but received no information about what happened to her. On Thursday, however, her family shared unbelievable news: A firefighter had found Ahmed passed out on a fire escape on the 18th floor of the 24-story tower and carried her out. Ahmed, who lived on the 19th floor, was taken to a hospital in critical condition and is now recovering from severe smoke inhalation, her mom tells the Evening Standard, adding the family saw Ahmed being put into an ambulance on the night of the blaze and had no idea her friends thought she was missing. "He is a hero. He saved her life, it's that simple," she says of the unidentified firefighter. But while her daughter was one of the lucky ones, 79 others died or are presumed dead as a result of the blaze. Metropolitan Police say it started in a Hotpoint fridge-freezer with the model number FF175BP on the fourth floor of the tower and spread quickly, per the Evening Standard. Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack—who has promised an "exhaustive" investigation, per the BBC—adds authorities will now consider manslaughter charges after the building's insulation and cladding "failed all safety tests." Officials say cladding samples from 11 other high-rise buildings in eight municipalities in the UK, including in London, have also failed tests.
