"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
"Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were initially mobilised to the scene, where crews discovered a fire involving high-voltage electrical cables below street level. Due to the challenging and hazardous nature of the incident, an additional four fire engines were requested to attend, taking the total to ten appliances. This is expected to be a prolonged operation given the complexity of tackling a fire within an underground electrical tunnel."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigates financials like Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC, and produced the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet refuses to use paywalls and asks for donations so journalism remains accessible and funded by those who can afford it. In central London, dozens of firefighters and ten fire engines are tackling a blaze in an underground electrical tunnel on Theobalds Road near Southampton Row in Holborn. Crews discovered fire involving high-voltage electrical cables below street level and the operation is expected to be prolonged.
