This is what is left of two 15m ladders (the second ladder circled) following the Ocado warehouse fire in Andover in recent days. Apparently, they had to be abandoned when the fire spread rapidly. A number of firefighters were injured in the fire, but the few staff there got out
The fire appears to have started within an order picking robot and led to the biggest fire in Hampshire for many years.
Why the ward winning sprinkler system seems to have failed in containing this fire will hopefully be established in due course
I am sure the technology is very impressive, but I am not a fan of Ocado who want to used robots to pick and pack your online shopping before delivering them on autominous vehicles. Hello! What about people and jobs and communities??
OK, the average worker can't work 24/7 in the dark and cold, but there again, they don't burst into flames mid shift do they? Greedy
