The blaze began late in the evening, at around 19:30. Investigations revealed that the fire started in a wooden escalator that was undergoing refurbishment. An accumulation of flammable materials, including grease, on the escalator escalated the situation, allowing the fire to spread rapidly throughout the station. Smoke quickly filled the underground tunnels, complicating evacuation efforts.Efforts by emergency services were hampered by the station's layout, which lacked adequate fire safety measures. Many people were trapped in the tunnels due to their narrow design and ineffective escape routes. Firefighters faced a daunting task, working in an environment filled with smoke and toxic fumes. The incident prompted widespread media coverage, raising public awareness of the risks associated with underground transport systems at the time. Following the event, an independent inquiry was launched to investigate the safety protocols implemented at the London Underground.The King's Cross fire led to significant changes in fire safety regulations across public transport systems in the UK. Recommendations from the inquiry emphasized the need for improvements in fire detection systems and staff training. The tragedy also highlighted the importance of maintaining infrastructure to prioritize passenger safety. Additionally, memorial activities were initiated to honor the victims, ensuring that their memories would persist in discussions about safety protocols in public transport.
