Maybe we should wait until we find out all of the facts before we call for heads to roll. Serious though the fire was, nobody died, thankfully. It's only through the proper investigation of accidents that lessons are learnt.

These sort of incidents will always happen. It is a moment of indecision, or a moments lack of concentration that usually causes them.
The need to load and unload as quickly as possible to maximise profits, will always mean that corners are cut and that set procedures get "Altered". Not officially of course, but altered they will be.
If anyone is to blame, and Trev is right to say we should hold back till we see the results of any enquiry, then my guess is that someone lower down the chain of responsibility gets it in the neck. I am getting very cynical in my autumn years.
Paul.
