Hemel Oil Depot Explosions Update

This morning I heard that the explosion was heard as far away as 100 miles from the Industrial Estate in Hemel Hempstead (Berkshire). On the news, locals said that their windows are doors were blown off their hinges.

The fire service decided not to use foam, as they feared poluting the local water system.

Its possible that the fire could burn all week. Apparantly, its the largest fire in the UK in 50 years.
