Can't see anything on U tube for a fire in Salford on 2nd September myself.

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

Hi Tom

Yes thanks, that's the one!

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.
