Thoughts on that big carpark fire in Liverpool

[Gavin John Hyde]

Seen on news there has been a huge fire at a multi storey car park in Liverpool.
The pictures online show pretty much every car is a burnt wreck and the heat was so hot it caused concrete floors to fall through.
Makes you wonder just how hot it got in there... either way the insurers are going to have a bad start to the new year! if in theory the fire can be traced back to one car, then there is every likelihood that cars insurance firm will be liable for all the millions for cars, vans and contents and damage to building.... thankfully all the horses being homed on the lower level for the horse show next door at the arena were safely evacuated.
Had a friend who had a vauxhall that caught fire, they recalled the model and so called fix it, but the fires kept happening.

Default answer, electrical fire. We are now to install non-combustible DBs in car parks...

to facilitate this they will now be extending Part P to public car parks to protect people from very unlikely eventualities. they will also insist that you adequately adequately support cables in event of fire as the concrete appears to have exploded in the heat and fell away to the floor below..

electrical fault my Arse. 200 horses farting in a confined space and a Scouser lighting up a spliff in a stolen hot-wired Ford Focus.. recipe for disaster.

Sue Wright had been attending the horse show with her husband, former England footballer Mark Wright.

She said she saw an old Land Rover - thought by firefighters to be the source of the blaze - with its engine on fire.

normal for a land rover then?

Fair play to her though, she went down the extra level to tell them to get the horses out, she could have legged it with her husband who had taken the kids to safety.
