Fire charges

Martin Rosenbaum | 17:51 UK time, Monday, 10 March 2008

Last November there was a major in east London in a disused warehouse on the 2012 Olympics site.

The 大象传媒 wanted to know more about the causes of the fire and asked the London Fire Brigade for a copy of its fire investigation report. The LFB refused to supply this unless we paid them 拢89, on the basis that such reports are included in their as a document for which they charge.

The 拢89 report in question apparently consists of one A4 page with accompanying photographs.

However, after protests from us, they did agree
to reveal for free the information in the report which could be classed as 'environmental information'. So without any further charge, here it is:
鈥渢he roof and upper elevation were also lined in part with Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB) and polystyrene cladding鈥;
鈥渋t was reported by the operators that sparks from the hot metal had fallen onto some adjacent polystyrene cladding, which rapidly caught fire鈥;
鈥渢hick black smoke was issuing from the roof鈥.
