▍原文
An off-duty engineer risked his life by heading into the blazing Grenfell Tower to turn off the gas supply, it has emerged.
Chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick released the report marking the first phase of the inquiry into the blaze on June 17, 2017, that cost 72 lives, today.
It uncovered an act of courage by gas engineer Jason Allday and his team, who were praised in the report as 'doing an excellent job' in cutting off the supply to the tower.
Mr Allday was not even meant to be working that day but saw a TV report of the incident and arrived at the scene at 7.20am thinking he would be needed.
