Guys/Gals,

Was able to get some photos (taken via Blackberry sorry for quality issues) of the multi-alarm fire City of London Fire Brigade had while I was at work in our UK office there 2 weeks ago. Was located in the heart of the financial district, just off City Rd.

Here is also a link to a local paper article with details:

Hazmat, I believe.

Most likely hazmat as they said above, they had a few gas cylinder explosions around 6:30am. The fire took out 2 buildings which took up almost the entire city block.

nice pics, thanks. Does anyone know why the white lanes to indicate lanes on the road become jagged as they approach intersections or the such and do not remain straight?

As I understand it they indicate the area around a pedestrian crossing, and designate areas where passing, parking, and double-parking/standing are not allowed.
