Large Electrical Fire ( London )

In Holborn London there's been a large electrical fire in the Tube Station, and thousand of people have had to be evacuated, also in Kingsway area smoke is filtering out of some kind of air vent...

Re: Large Electrical Fire ( London )

Oh dear. Here in Nottingham we have had a fire going on for 3 days now.
It was a building that used to house Players the cigarette people.
They changed into a block of flats for students. Somehow the fire
started in the inards of the building and they might now have to knock
it down. It still has scaffolding around it as it was being under construction
as flats. Up to 150 firemen have had to attend to try and keep it
under control but because of the very windy weather we have had it
has started up again a few times.
Hope everyone on the tube is Ok as I would hate to be down there
in a fire. The draught you get is terrible. I used to work in
London so know how smelly, windy and frightening it can be.
