Hi,

When I was waiting at Heron Quays around 5pm or so yesterday there was a
lot of smoke blowing through the station from a fairly tall building on
fire, quite a way South, that the firefighters were pumping large
amounts of water at - any idea which building was on fire? I can't seem
to find any news articles about it.


It was a construction site - the building on fire was a
partly-constructed block at the bottom of Mastmaker Road on South
Quay. It was one of a number of "affordable housing" blocks


Not so affordable now then


The actual fire took place on the 8th floor of a partly built office
block AIUI. A couple of floors (or more) collapsed during the fire and
the whole thing may have to be demolished. I wonder if you can insure
unfinished buildings?
