Title: Dozens of firefighters tackle Somerset House blaze

Hope it's controlled quickly.


"Somerset House is an arts venue and on Saturday was due to be hosting a day of breakdancing."
I know Raygun was bad at the aolympics but surely it didn't mean the venue had to be set on fire.

No damage to the art

I worked with Somerset House a few years back, as a consultant, and one of the things on our list then was the fire risk. I've not seen anything about how/why this started, but I do find myself wondering if any of the work we did helped in this - I might try and get in touch with some of my former colleagues to see if they're still a client.
