Description

An investigation has been launched into a fire at one of the capital’s major landmarks, the NatWest Tower in the City of London. About five hundred workmen renovating Britain’s second highest office block were forced to flee when flames broke out on the forty-fifth floor. No-one was injured and Edward Townsend from the NatWest Bank says the emergency services were marvellous.
