Remembering the Buncefield Oil Depot fire. In the early hours of Sunday, 11 December 2005 a huge explosion - which measured 2.4 on the Richter Scale, and could be heard over 100 miles away - rocked the fuel depot near Hemel Hempstead. Firefighters from across the county battled searing heat to contain the blaze - with more than 150 firefighters at the scene at the peak of the incident. Crews from 16 other fire services supported us over two days - numerous properties and businesses were affected
