Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 23,508 Send Message	OMG Its massive, like a huge warehouse fire. Looks like the fire brigade are moving buses out of the depot next door. It's right on the edge of the Olympic Village site.

	My Niece lives there but I don't have her number to check on her. She was moved out of her flat to make way for the Olympic Village and into a house a bit further away but still in the area. I hope it is soon under control. Jacky
