Script:
A significant fire broke out at a power station in Hayes, causing a massive power outage across miles of West London. The blaze, which started late Thursday night, has resulted in severe disruptions, including the complete closure of Heathrow Airport for the entire day.

The London Fire Brigade swiftly responded, deploying 70 firefighters and 10 fire engines to control the flames. The fire began around 11:23 p.m. and led to the evacuation of 150 people from nearby areas due to heavy smoke and safety concerns.

The power outage has affected local homes, businesses, and transportation networks, with Heathrow Airport grounding all flights for the day, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. The incident has raised concerns over the vulnerability of key infrastructure, and while some social media users are speculating about potential sabotage, investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.
