Luton Airport Shut Down Due to Massive Car Park Fire

In a statement released at 3 am on Wednesday, the airport said, “Emergency services are still dealing with a big fire in Terminal car park 2, and part of the building has fallen down.”

Molly Bullard shared a video of the fire on social media and said, “It’s really scary at Luton Airport as the multi-story short-stay car park is on fire and exploding.”

Russell Taylor, who had flown in from Edinburgh, told, “There were a few fire trucks with a car on fire on the top floor of the car park just after 9 pm. A few minutes later, most of the top floor was on fire, and car alarms were going off with loud explosions as the cars caught fire. The speed at which the fire spread was incredible.”
