'Piering' into the future of fire prevention

摘要

The longest pleasure pier in the world is looking to a fire-free future with the help of Apollo. Southend-on-Sea Pier is more than one mile in length and famous for a variety of reasons; for instance the dedicated railway that carries visitors from the shore to the Pier Head.rnBuilt in 1830, the Pier has survived boat crashes and both world wars, as well as standing up to the wind and waves for almost 180 years.
