The in-depth story of the King's Cross Station Fire 1987 - The Subway Disaster That Changed Firefighting.
The London Fire brigade receives a call to respond to one of London’s underground stations. The King’s Cross is on fire. Four engines are dispatched to the scene and arrive within minutes.
The blaze is at an escalator leading down to one of the station platforms. It’s only a small fire though, nothing a hose spray can’t handle. At least, that’s what they think.
Instead of a small fire, the London Tube is struck by the worst blaze in its history.
