The former housing director of the firm that ran Grenfell Tower was left on the verge of tears as she told the inquiry she hand-delivered details of the missing to firefighters while the fire blazed.
Teresa Brown fought back tears as she was quizzed over allegations of delays in providing emergency services with vital information.
A total of 72 people lost their lives as a result of the fire in the 24-storey block of flats, in west London, on June 14 last year.

A public inquiry has heard the London Fire Brigade (LFB) repeatedly requested details of the building and its occupants as they battled the blaze.
Robert Black, then chief executive of Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (KCTMO), claimed the company, which looks after 10,000 homes, did not have a role in the council's emergency plan.
But Mrs Brown, who left her job as director of housing earlier this year, said the TMO's role on the scene was to respond to requests for information from the emergency services and council, as well as co-ordinating work in rest centres.
She told the inquiry on Friday, she spent most of her time at the centre in St Clement's Church after arriving at around 3.50am.

'What we were doing was literally going around everyone in that rest centre checking they were okay, if there was anything we could do to support them, getting their name, their address, finding out if all their household was safe and recording that,' she said.
Ms Brown said she then hand-delivered information gathered on those who were safe and missing to firefighters.
The inquiry has heard her boss, Mr Black, did not forward a list of residents to the LFB for more than two hours after the email was sent by a colleague to him, Ms Brown and others.
Ms Brown said she had been focusing on gathering 'real-time information' from the rest centres, while Mr Black was stood at the LFB command centre, rather than sending on the official data.

'I'm sorry if that was the wrong choice, but that's what I was doing at the time,' she said.
'I think I made the assumption that if someone had needed it, he (Mr Black) would have been able to provide it because he had it.'
Asked if she knew whether a council liaison officer had been 'pressing' Mr Black for that type of information, she was left on the verge of tears.
She said: 'No, I was in St Clement's rest centre for a considerable amount of hours really trying to do the best I could.'
The inquiry continues.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
