Two firefighters
Fire officers have briefly entered and spent a few minutes in the warehouse to conduct an 'initial visual assessment'. In the devastated firm, there were firefighters missing and feared dead after a suspected arson attack. The blaze was eventually extinguished after burning for more than 12 hours. 

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was 'shocked and saddened'. 'My thoughts are with the families of those killed, missing and injured.'
The whole situation around this incident, the tactics empoyed by the firefighters while they were there, will be subject to this investigation. Fears that four firefighters have died prompted a flag to be flown at half mast at fire station.
Fire Brigades Union (FBU): 'The potential loss of four lives would make the incident the worst loss of life among its members for 35 years. In 1972, in that blaze, one firefighter was tapped inside the building and six of his colleagues died trying rescue him.
