Homebase fire

I took a few photos but didn't realise that the programming switch had moved so the colours are a bit dipsy. It wasn't easy getting close and shortly after I'd taken these the cordon was moved out further. The news reports suggest that there were more than 60 firefighters on the scene and I saw appliances from as far afield as Ashford and Swanley.

The BBC report uses a photo from a few miles away to show the plume of black smoke.
