On July 9, 2010, a fire destroyed a warehouse at Heathrow Airport (first photo). More than 100 firefighters attended the 20-pump incident. Four aerial ladders and other special units were also called to the scene. The evening before, an 8-pump fire that started in a Burger King forced the evacuation of 2,000 railway and underground passengers from the Liverpool Street train station (second photo).
