Personally I do not think for one minute he did that deliberately, there is another version that the man was a hero because he saved many lives, apparently he is absolutely devastated and will not talk to anyone.
This is a link from the express there are other, links just google it.

On BBC Radio 5 Live this morning early a firefighter confirmed it. He said they arrived (first to do so) at the scene and extinguished that fridge fire on the 4/F. He said whilst they did so they told tenants to stay in their flats - as per posted fire instructions.
He said that would normally have been fine, and the fire contained, no other flats affected.
But, he was horrified to see the fire had spread to the outside cladding and was spreading around the building and upwards.
Clearly the cladding was the problem, but was it legal to have fitted it, or not?
The contractor says it was legal, The Govt (Phillip Hammond on SKY News yesterday) says it was illegal.
More dosh for the lawyers no doubt sorting it all out and attributing blame!
Geoff.
P.S. Same firefighter said it was a freezer (not a fridge) and the 4/F fire MAY have been caused by a power surge to the building.
