The fire in November of 2007 was fully covered by Firegeezer (HERE and HERE) when the food packing plant collapsed on firefighters inside the building killing four of them. Three of them were buried alive and later found dead from their injuries (HERE and HERE). It took four days to find the last body and it plunged the entire nation’s fire service into grief from the event. All of the young men were retained firefighters for the Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service.
The four people arrested are all Polish nationals and many of the plant’s employees were Polish. Early in the investigation, officials had mentioned that they were considering the possibility of the fire being set by a disgruntled employee.
No other information on the arrests has been issued by the police. We will update if anything more is learned.
