The distance from 1st floor to 6th floor is the same as from 6th to 11th or indeed from 11th to 16th. If a fire starts on the 1st floor it can still spread quickly up to the 6th with the insulation. The issue is the rapid spreading of fire. At Grenfell the fire started on the 4th floor and they couldn't contain it. Buildings under 18m are just as unsafe.
