Narrative B

Questions must be raised about the safety protocols and preventive measures at heritage sites like Bicester Motion, which house potentially hazardous materials. The multiple explosions reported by witnesses and the rapid spread of the fire suggest potential issues with the storage or handling of flammable materials. This incident calls for a thorough review of safety standards at similar facilities nationwide.
