It is;
Breaking: Fire breaks out at Ferrybridge Power Station - Selby Online

A lot of work being done there at the moment

It is, it's on the beeb site that it's gone up. 50 firefighters 10 pumps.
Hope they bought some spare capacity recently

That'll wreck any anti-polution targets they were trying to achieve this year.

That's only a baby that. I remember when Conoco oil refinery went up near me. THAT was a fire.

About 3 miles as the crow flies from my old house

Nobody bothered with the assembly points, the contractors were climbing over the perimeter fence.

Not good.
At any level.
The fire, the probable loss of generating capacity, and possibly, the disregard for safety procedures.

BBC news just said the fire is out but because the plant was on a scheduled summer shutdown there's been no loss of generation capacity.
Isn't that all dependent on the level of damage?

It looks like the fire was in the contractors compound. Not the live site.
