What colour was the smoke? is an ebook - a text documentary - about the fire in a public housing block, Grenfell Tower, that killed seventy two people in June 2017 in West London.
As a young man with a family to keep I did time in the Fire Service and Grenfell Tower was built in the neighbourhood I grew up in. Seeing those streets, those people, I was transfixed. A friend from childhood traced me and said, "Man it just went up like a cardboard shoe box".
The Government ordered an Inquiry under a Judge. I followed the Inquiry for six months and use the actual language of the firefighters, scientists and other professionals at the scene that night and above all the words of the bereaved, survivors and residents to present a condensation of the tragedy.
