Fire at the Royal Marsden Hospital

There I was sitting at my desk, eating my steak and cheese subway, when there was a faint BBQ smell. However, the smell got stronger, and then when I looked out the window, I saw this…..



At first, I didn’t realise how bad things were going to become, and also, I didn’t realise that we were just about to be involved in the top news story of the day. The evacuation was so calm, and in a way, you felt quite distant from what was going on, just metres from where we were walking.


It wasn’t until we were outside, and we could see reflections of the flames in the windows of buildings around the hospital. In the end it took over 100 fire-fighters to put out the blaze, and the building where the fire started is now without a roof. I just hope the damage is not as bad as it looks on the television. I am sure we will find out in the next couple of days.
