Fire at historic royal castle

On 20 November 1992, a major fire broke out in Windsor Castle, the largest inhabited castle in the world and one of the official residences of the British monarch. Beginning in the Queen's Private Chapel, it spread rapidly through the State Apartments and became one of the largest peacetime fire‑fighting operations in modern British history. More than 200 fire‑fighters brought the blaze under control after 15 hours.
