On October 30, 2024, an early morning fire broke out at BAE Systems’ Devonshire Dock Hall, the primary submarine construction building in Barrow-in-Furness. The blaze prompted an immediate response from emergency services, who quickly evacuated all personnel from the facility.

By the afternoon, the fire was largely under control, allowing emergency services to scale down their major incident response.

The fire resulted in an estimated £1 million in damages. While two individuals were taken to the hospital as a precaution for smoke inhalation, they have since been released. BAE Systems expressed gratitude to the emergency responders and the local community for their support during the incident.

Cumbria Police confirmed there was no nuclear risk associated with the fire, and a thorough investigation into the cause is currently underway. The Ministry of Defence is working closely with BAE and local emergency responders to assess the situation and plan for resuming normal operations.

This incident underscores the critical importance of early fire detection systems. At Planck Vision Systems, we provide advanced thermal imaging technology that can detect minute temperature variations, enabling swift responses to potential fire hazards.

Our always-on monitoring systems ensure operational excellence and enhance safety by catching anomalies before they escalate into serious threats.
