Breaking news on BBC news, anyone know anything? 30 firefighters apparently on scene

Someone's a bit premature with their November 5th celebrations

Nothing on BBC website about it, wishful thinking???

[anonymous-user]

I can't find anything either, you been drinking Silent1?

[Shaw Tarse]

Sky news break had it on Twitter.

[Silent1]

It's on the BBC news channel ticker

[Hedders]

Well, it's a start.

I heard it was the Inland Revenue records office.....apparently two fireman were seen fighting the blaze for just over a minute

From Twitter:

sozklee RT @smithsam: RT @rac_trafficnews: london government fire: B323 Horseferry Road B326 Marsham Street Both ways - Incidents and Hazards http://bit.ly/9pln2a

The RAC are saying it's at horseferry road, from google maps it looks like the Dept of Transport is there

Skynewsbreak is also saying it was a small electrical fire and is now under control...

ETA: that link from the RAC mentions Thorney Street, that's where 5 are based and hence the lack or reporting perhaps?

Luckily the blaze was contained to just the MP's tax records..

Apparently it's N10 Downing Street, passers by saw a shambolic looking tramp with a wonky eye and a strong Scottish accent running from the scene shouting something about having "saved the world again"
