5:57pm UK, Thursday April 05, 2012

Around 60 firefighters have been tackling a large blaze in a goods yard underneath electricity lines in east London, which left tens of thousands of people without power.

Twelve fire engines were at the scene in Canning Town where a warehouse, pallet yard and scrapyard were alight.
The London Fire Brigade said there were no reports of injuries.
UK Power Networks said 88,000 customers were left without power because of the blaze in Ives Road, near Bidder Street.
It said all power supplies had been restored just over an hour later.
A spokesman said: "We apologise to customers in east London who suffered a power cut today when a fire in Canning Town, which was not on our equipment, damaged overhead power lines.
"UK Power Networks engineers restored supplies to all customers within an hour and 10 minutes." [more]

I hope all you guys are ok!!!

That's a bit churlish, he was only expressing his concern.

What can you expect from a provincial though... ;)

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire

10's of thousands in the North had no electricity because of the snow, where's the concern for that?

Or perhaps because it didn't happen in the butthole of the country no one cares?

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire

OH WOW, they were all without power for 1 hour and 10 minutes... OMG...how did they survive!!!! I also hope that the fire didn't cause global warming within East London otherwise they'll have to postpone the Olympics until the next ice age!!

Sorry but total non-event :rolleyes: or is it a case of the colonies still thinking that London is the same as in 1666 ??

We in the colonies are fully aware that Heathrow didn't get a third terminal until later than that;) There's probably been other changes. I'm not sure if you can still buy a hotel in Mayfair for Â£200
