Any one else?

There was a big one on 4 August that from the news coverage looks typical of a timber frame undergoing construction but the text does not confirm that.

The video was on bbc news online yesterday.
It was a shopping centre being built near the new BBC building.
The FRS video showed what looked to be timber frames but the blaze was so fierce I could not tell for sure.


Should have posted a link, lesson learned

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

Hi Tom

Yes thanks, that's the one!

Wonder why it was on BBC website yesterday ??? ???

Strangely enough, it wasn't on the FRS website

That one is on U tube; it is posted as having occurred at 1am 4th August 2011

This shows it as well.

 Obviously a free burning fire with scaffolding around it; but I dont think it is possible to see the construction from these videos.
