A shipyard currently building the UK's next-generation nuclear submarines is on fire this morning, sparking a huge emergency response and concern among locals, APA reports citing Daily Mail.
A 'significant' blaze broke out at the BAE Systems factory in Barrow, Cumbria, shortly after midnight. Two people have been taken to hospital.
Locals said the fire appeared to be centred on the six-acre Devonshire Dock Hall, the main construction site, where a £1.6bn Astute-Class nuclear submarine is under construction.
