Wilkesy Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 Me too. I've now had to shut the window to avoid the smell of burnt toast. I think i better shut mine now! So many people filming this on High Street, i felt sorry for the bloke in the crane next to it, he was legging it down the steps to get away from the smoke!
Master Fox Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 I'm going to have to switch on CNN for the latest developments.

It's too far away for me to see where it actually is. I'm just downwind so have the joy of watching the black smoke rising up and blowing my way.
Unit Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 Just been on east midlands today, it's at the new shires part they're building. Anybody that can see it, is it the bit with the really shit mirror wall bit?

Steven Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 "A lot of fuss over nothing" Firefighters put out Shires blaze Fifty firefighters were called out to a blaze at a shopping centre extension when polystyrene insulation in the roof caught alight. Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service were called at about 1315 BST on Friday and took an hour to put out the flames at the Shires centre in Leicester. Eight fire engines were used to put out the blaze which sent smoke billowing across the city. No one was hurt. A spokesman for the Fire Service said: "It was a lot of fuss over nothing."
