Newspaper fire interrupts printing

Fire disrupts Standard's printing

Distribution of the London Evening Standard was disrupted this evening after a fire broke out at Associated Newspaper's printworks at Harmsworth Quays.
A spokesman for the paper said one hour's production was lost this afternoon because of a "small" fire.

The fire couldn't have come at a worse time for the paper as parent company Associated Newspaper attempts to fight off the arrival of News International's new afternoon freesheet the London Paper.
