Exclusive: Multiple firefighters who saved lives at Grenfell Tower diagnosed with terminal cancer

Up to a dozen firefighters who saved lives at the Grenfell Tower have been diagnosed with cancers; the majority of which are understood to be digestive cancers and leukaemia, for which there is no cure

Hero firefighters who saved lives at the Grenfell Tower disaster have since been diagnosed with terminal cancer, we can reveal.

A Mirror investigation has found a secret tragedy behind the 2017 fire, which killed 72 residents.

Firefighters, some aged only in their 40s, are suffering with rare cancers linked to the high levels of unprecedented exposure to contaminants during the huge rescue effort.

Up to a dozen have been diagnosed with cancers, the majority of which are understood to be digestive cancers and leukaemia, for which there is no cure.

But it is feared this could be the tip of the iceberg, with some cancers taking up to 25 years to appear.
