A fire erupted at BAE Systems' Barrow-in-Furness nuclear submarine shipyard early Wednesday morning, with at least two individuals hospitalized due to smoke inhalation. Authorities confirm no nuclear risk has been posed. Cumbria Constabulary reported that all personnel have been safely evacuated from the affected areas, particularly the Devonshire Dock Hall, which is integral to the operations concerning Britain's Astute-class submarines and the Dreadnought programme.
Cumbria Constabulary has stated, 'The blaze began around 12:45 am and was still ongoing at the time of reporting. Fortunately, there have been no additional casualties, and all staff members have been accounted for.' This update ensures that despite the emergency, the safety protocols were effectively implemented, and evacuation procedures were promptly executed during a critical situation.
