Two people were taken to hospital after a fire broke out early Wednesday morning at the Barrow-in-Furness shipyard of BAE Systems in Cumbria, where the UK’s nuclear-powered submarines are built.
The fire began shortly after midnight, at around 12:45am, in Devonshire Dock Hall, the facility used for constructing the Royal Navy’s Astute-class submarines and for housing the Dreadnought programme, the Cumbria constabulary confirmed.
