Photos

Travelling past the Lion Retail park in Old Woking in Surrey, we saw the building on the right with smoke billowing out of it and it surrounded by fire engines pouring water into it.

As you can see the entire front of the shop has collapsed in.

If you look closer at the place,(I will post on TrekEarth tomorrow and link to this soon.) you can observe that the steel girders have melted due to extreme heat. The inside of the building has been completely gutted and the roof has caved in at the back.

Focus is a DIY store, and sells paint and lumber so this may indicate why the fire was so fierce and hot, Steel has a melting point of about 7000 (i think).

The sign on the metal barriers reads "Capital Demolitions". This is an indication of what is to come as a building that badly damaged cannot be repaired, it can only be demolished and rebuilt.

The building shares a wall with Harveys, a carpet shop next door so if the wall is damaged a section of the shop next door may need to be destroyed or removed.

I'll post a later photo if anything changes.

Technical - No Changes applied to photo.

You can see a second photo of the fire building Focus Fire II.

I look forward to your comments.
