The Old Bailey, a high-security building and the central criminal court in London, is set to reopen after an electrical fire disrupted operations and led to the evacuation of 1,500 people. The fire, which broke out in an electrical substation, caused courts to be plunged into darkness, and two people had to be rescued from lifts. The London Fire Brigade declared the cause of the fire as "accidental". Despite the disruption, all cases are expected to resume as normal.
