Olympic Site Blaze

A thick plume of black smoke covered the sky over London Monday as blaze broke out in a disused warehouse on the site of the 2012 Olympics. Fire crews were investigating the cause, but it was not thought to be terror-related.

The London Ambulance Service said there were not thought to be any casualties from the blaze, which started at around 12:15 p.m. local time.

At least 15 engines and 75 firefighters were called in to tackle the height of the blaze in a disused warehouse in the east of the city.

A thick column of black smoke, believed to have been caused by burning diesel fuel, could be seen for miles over the city.

The Olympic Delivery Authority, coordinating construction for the 2012 Games, said the fire was located within the Olypic site, behind a bus depot.

The fire sparked initial alarm in London, which was targeted with deadly attacks by Islamic extremists in 2005, but police said it was not thought to be terror related..
