Suspicious fire in Kirkdale warehouse

Arsonists could be behind the fire that severely damaged a two storey warehouse building in Kirkdale, Sydenham, yesterday afternoon.
Flames consumed the empty and disused warehouse and it took six fire engines and around 30 firefighters to put out.
Robert McTaggart, Brigade spokesperson, said: “We are investigating the fire, but fortunately no victims were reported.”
London Fire Brigade is appealing to anyone with information to contact them on 020 7587 2000

Reflective report: As part of our emergency services assignment, I went with a colleague to the local fire Brigade in Uxbridge. Although the visit was interesting and enjoyable, we failed to get any current news stories as there had been no real emergency calls in the past few days.
I decided to look on the London Fire Brigade website for recent emergency calls around London and found a few. I called the press officer to ask about this particular one, as the fact that it was an empty and disused warehouse caught my attention. I spoke to Robert McTaggart, brigade spokesperson, who confirmed that the fire was under investigation and that there had not been any injuries. Neither McTaggart nor the website confirmed the name of the road and only said it took place in Kirkdale. This would be something to look at if doing a follow up of the story.
My original story was a little flat, as I was told after revision. I spiced it up, upon advice, by adding the possibility of an arson attack. The story could be followed up by a report on the course of the investigation into how the fire was started. If indeed arsonists had been involved, it would be interesting to talk to those involved and do a report about criminal and antisocial behaviour around the area.
