How can it still be burning when it started last night? Bizarre.

Why not?

I'm wondering if there were aerosol cans still stocked down there which may have got a bit hot and exploded

 

[quimcunx]

Probably been smouldering quietly hidden in a corner all week.

Don't they usually go in with special cameras to look for hot spots and stuff when they think it's out?

That's what I imagined they did. Maybe they only use them when they think bodies might be in the building? Maybe something was blocking the equipment? Maybe they don't use them?

Who knows?

There's a poster on here who should know but I can't remember his name.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

bigfire - that's the one. Where's he nowadays?

 

[quimcunx]

Probably busy putting fires out.

Here is a link from London FB's twitter.

Twitter says loads of engines down there again as firefighters change shift.

*puts on lippy*

 

[ajdown]

Still plenty about. Took this about 20 minutes ago from a passing bus.

 

[gaijingirl]

couldn't believe the amount of firefighters, trucks, ambulances and plod down there today... and such a smell and so much smoke. Incredible!

Have you still not pulled?

someone gave it a go, ''beautiful baby'', but he wasn't a fireman so doesn't count. I did see one very cute fireman. He was in his truck though.

Well if they've changed shift, there may be more cute ones now.

You see, as good as Editor is at taking photos, he's not taking photos of the things we want to see

 

[gaijingirl]

it was all the put-out-the-fire foam stuff - it had a really chemical smell..

(sorry in response to Minnie the Minx)
