## Resource

A major fire erupted at the Thurmaston Shopping Centre early Saturday morning, prompting eight fire engines and over forty firefighters to respond. The blaze, which spread across multiple units including the M&S store, is now being treated as a deliberate act by police. Six shops were damaged, forcing staff to take unpaid leave or be reassigned until at least Wednesday. Authorities are actively seeking witnesses and treating it as an arson investigation — a devastating incident with real human and economic consequences.
