Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A fire involving a single vehicle at Luton Airport’s multi storey car park rapidly escalated and spread through closely parked cars leading to the full structural collapse of a large section of the building. In this episode we walk through the timeline of events from initial ignition to rapid fire spread highlighting the role of modern vehicle construction fuel load and fire behaviour in open car park environments. We explore how the incident developed into a major fire involving over a thousand vehicles the challenges crews faced on arrival and the wider impact on airport operations and infrastructure.
