Terrible- at least there are no reported casualties

As you say Michael, no reports of casualties.  Started in a Vape shop!

My Goodness.

Don't vape shops have stocks of lithium batteries? You know the same type of chemistry as used by EVs - except of course the ones in cars are a lot bigger, get charged frequently, often very fast and are far more likely to get a nasty knock. Hmmm.. Are we sure they weren't diesel vapes? It seems that the cars that catch fire causing huge damage always are. Or so we get told.

I wonder if they managed to save that dome ?

No idea, I expect it will be on the News at 6pm, maybe see what's what then.

Blimey,  that looks really bad.
