The images show burnt out cars buried among debris following the partial collapse of the car park during last night's blaze. As many as 1,500 vehicles are thought to be have been in the car-park at the time of the fire - with up to 1,200 believed to be damaged. A temporary ramp is being installed to enable undamaged vehicles to be removed.
He added the fire likely started in a diesel car, before spreading to nearby vehicles. 'We don't believe it was an electric vehicle,' he said. He urged those due to travel on Wednesday to check with their airline for updates. 'If you are scheduled to have a flight before 3pm, then the advice is not to travel to the airport,' added Mr Hopkinson.
