Eight fire engines were called to a blaze at London's Hard Rock cafe over the weekend, but nobody was hurt, and firemen managed to also save a whole lot of rock memorabilia. Ducting caught fire, affecting every one of the building's seven stories, and causing extensive damage to the first floor. The cause of the fire is not thought to be suspicious.
Among the items of rock memorabilia saved from destruction were guitars donated by late former Beatle George Harrison, The Who's Pete Townsend, and Rolling stone Keith Richards. A London fire service bod said: "Some of the guitars may have been smoke damaged and could need some restoration."
