Destruction of Parliament Buildings Fire Rages Through Westminster

A massive blaze engulfed the House of Lords, House of Commons, and Westminster Hall after a fire broke out last evening. Fire crews and guards fought flames from the river and land, saving some royal records, but the roofs of both houses collapsed. The Library, Painted Chamber, and many offices suffered extensive damage and losses are estimated in the hundreds of thousands of pounds. Several injuries occurred among workers and guards, with many papers and relics saved or moved to safety.
