# Britain’s Heathrow Airport said it would be closed all of today after a huge fire at a nearby electrical substation wiped out power, disrupting flight schedules around the world. The London Fire Brigade said around 70 firefighters were tackling the blaze in the west of London, which caused a mass power outage at Heathrow, Europe’s busiest and the world’s fifth-busiest airport. Around 150 people were evacuated from nearby buildings and thousands of properties were without power.
