"Britain's worst peacetime fire services disaster"

This killed 19 people, but the James Watt Street fire killed 22 people. Shouldn't that be considered Britain's worst? 152.44.25.143 (talk) 12:44, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

152.44.25.143 the issue here is that this article states it is the worst fire services disaster in peacetime, meaning the loss of life to firefighters engaged in combatting the fire. The James Watt Street fire killed 22 employees of the firm that operated in that building, not the firefighters. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 12:58, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. I misunderstood the wording; my mistake. Thank you for the clarification. 152.44.25.143 (talk) 13:10, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
