I live in West Sussex but Halland is quite a way away from me.....3/4 hour drive.
It's a shocking thing to happen. Not only have 2 firefighters lost their lives but some are terribly burned. All the buildings in the vicinity are gone.....

A reminder that it's not all fire drills and polishing the fire engine / truck. These people put their lives on the line from time to time. Sadly on this occasion things went horribly wrong
