Update on Perivale Warehouse Fire



From the London Fire Brigade late yesterday:

Around 120 firefighters and officers tackled a fire at a warehouse, containing a number of commercial and factory units, on Wadsworth Rd, Perivale this evening.

Around 30 people left the building before the Brigade arrived and there were no reports of any injuries. The blaze gutted the large 75 metre by 75 metre building and at the height of the fire smoke could be seen across the whole of London.

Station Manager Jeff Lisle who was at the scene said: 

"Crews worked very hard in extremely difficult conditions to bring this fire under control. Firefighters used aerial ladder platforms to tackle it from numerous vantage points and to prevent the blaze from spreading to neighbouring warehouses. 

“Although not in a residential area the smoke from the fire was travelling quite a distance so we advised locals to keep windows and doors shut as a precaution." 

Twenty fire engines from stations including Heston, Northolt, Chiswick, Wembley, Park Royal, Ruislip, Ealing, Hammersmith, Willesden and North Kensington were at the scene.

The Brigade was called at 1852 and the fire was under control at 2344. Crews are expected to be at the scene throughout Sunday damping down the fire. 

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Exhibition space in Wembley available next week


Message from the Coming Soon Club LINK:

Are you a curator, artist, sculptor, ceramicist or film-maker? We are seeking proposals from all our creative and artistic members who have an idea of an exhibition they might like to install in our warehouse space.

Many of you will have been in to our warehouse space on Wembley Hill Road (corner with Wembley High Road, almost opposite Wembley Stadium station) so will know what it looks like. It is a large, characterful space far removed from the usual white cube gallery space, which makes it a great context for an installation. We recently held an architecture exhibition by students from the RCA to great effect.

 If you would like to do something similar, please send us an email to info@comingsoonclub.co.uk with your proposal for using the space starting from January 7th 2013. Running time of the exhibition is negotiable.
