A lightning strike is thought to be the cause of a large fire at the TATA steelworks in Port Talbot.

Thankfully no one was injured but yet again this highlights the importance of not only having a compliant lightning protection system installed but the importance of testing the system annually all in accordance with BS EN 62305.
