Revising a short paragraph
The two news reports present information in a factual and formal way. Find the expressions in the two news reports that help present information this way.
The fire, which is thought to have started from the 8th floor, spread quickly
throughthe tower block on Sunday night, leaving people on the upper floors trapped.
Fears grew that the number of deaths could reach 5, according to figures
released by emergency services. There is concern that the construction company that built the tower block had
not followed fire safety rules.
Emergency services estimate that the number of deaths could reach 9. By this morning,4 people have been confirmed dead. Mr Peterson, head of the fire service, confirms that a dropped cigarette end on a carpet of the 8th floor started the fire and that the automatic fire alarms did not go off quickly enough to prevent the disaster.
