Residents faced difficulties post-evacuation, with some booking their own hotels or staying in the lobby of the nearby Moxy Hotel.
The Slough Borough Council is assisting those who cannot return to their homes, and emergency services and council officials remain at the site.
The fire’s likely cause is under investigation, with early reports suggesting it might have been sparked by an electrical fault or malfunction in the building’s wiring.
Wallace Estates, the building’s owner, is working to assess the damage and prepare for residents’ return.
Their spokesperson stated, “Our managing agents are on site, regularly updating residents about our actions and next steps.”
For effective early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras provide superior performance compared to traditional systems.
These cameras can detect abnormal heat conditions before visible smoke and flames appear, helping to prevent significant damage and loss of life.
