"A major fire has engulfed BAE Systems’ shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, #Cumbria, which builds Britain’s new generation of #nuclear #submarines.

Two people were taken to a hospital for suspected smoke inhalation after the fire broke out at the site around 12.30am on Wednesday.

Police said there was “no nuclear risk” from the incident.

“At this time there are no other casualties and everyone else has been evacuated from the Devonshire Dock Hall and are accounted for,” a statement from Cumbria Constabulary read.

BAE’s site in Barrow-in-Furness manufactures the Royal Navy’s Astute and Dreadnought submarines and is the second-largest indoor shipbuilding complex in Europe, covering around six acres.

Photos on social media showed large #flames ripping through a tall building and smoke billowing into the air. Police advised people living nearby to remain indoors and to keep doors and windows closed."
