The Harrow Court fire occurred in a tower block on 2 February 2005 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. Three people were killed, two of them firefighters, when a fire developed and spread from the 14th floor.[1] An investigation of the fire found that there was an Abnormal Rapid Fire Development, caused by a candle melting the surface of a television, which then spread rapidly up the outside of the building to subsequent floors.[2]
In honour of the two firefighters who lost their lives, Jeff Wornham (aged 28) and Michael Miller (aged 26), Stevenage Borough Council named two adjoining roads in a new nearby development 'Miller Way' and 'Wornham Avenue', in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
The fire at Harrow Court featured in the BBC 2 documentary broadcast 30 October 2018 The Fires that Foretold Grenfell,[3] as one of five significant fires in the UK which occurred prior to the Grenfell Tower fire, which called for changes to regulations and policies.[4]
