Yesterday I got a call about a fire happening locally, I looked out of my window and low behold a giant plume of smoke was rising in the distance. I grabbed my camera and hastily made my way towards it, and oh my was it worthwhile!
I snapped away from several locations, and also took some HD video footage. As I was finishing up a guy approached me and asked if I worked for a newspaper, upon saying I was a student he revealed he worked for the Evening Standard and gave me his number to call. Unfortunately it seems they didn't run the story since they didn't call me back to buy any off me (yes I sent them watermarked so they couldn't be stolen).
I have now uploaded them onto demotix for other news websites/papers to stumble upon.

Here are the photos: http://www.demotix.com/news/1174854/west-london-flames-emr-scrapyard-fire

Wow! Glad it was only a recycling plant. Bit of a hefty fire that is.

Oh wow! Such a big fire. Any idea what caused it?

At 35seconds into the video, someones phone goes off... I thought it was mine so I was turning my room upside down to find it xD

As far as I'm aware the cause is still unknown.
