Fire breaks out at the National Archives at Kew

A fire has been put out at the National Archives at Kew. Twenty fire fighters fought the blaze at two disused water towers at the facility - the main building itself was undamaged and no-one was injured. The BBC has the story at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-26208830. Footage from the fire is also on the Daily Mirror website at http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/watch-national-archives-fire-20-3148287
