Somerset House fire: Courtauld Gallery reopens with collection undamaged
Briefly

"The fire was located in part of the building's roof space. The age and design of the building proved a challenge for crews as they initially responded. As a result, four of the Brigade's aerial ladders, including a 64 metre turntable ladder, were deployed to support firefighters as they carried out a complex and technical response."
"Somerset House Trust director Jonathan Reekie has said that there were no artworks in the impacted area, ensuring the safety of the gallery's invaluable collection, which includes masterpieces by Van Gogh, Manet, and Cézanne."
