Was woken up this morning by the sound of emergency vehicles going past. BBC and sky are both reporting an incident at Ashwell prison. A friend who's house backs onto the prison grounds can see smoke and flames coming from the prison. She sent me a picture message that I'll upload in a bit.

What is the main story on the local radio station? People stealing charity clothing bags.
 
Here's the pic

The fire brigade have left now. Seen a few large prison vans go up there so they're obviously moving prisoners somewhere else. Apparently it all started at about 6am. 5hr later and still no mention on the local radio station.

Maybe it was fire engines from further away I saw leaving the area then. My friend who took that pic said that she could see flames just before she took it.
