Read the passage and answer the questions:

"It is with deep regret that we report a terrible fire which, early on Sunday morning, destroyed a large part of the well-known Borough Market. Although the fire brigades worked hard all through the night, the strong east wind helped the flames spread quickly, burning many stalls and storerooms. Shopkeepers and townspeople watched sadly as the market was ruined.

The Lord Mayor has promised a full review of fire safety rules to prevent such disasters in the future."
