The entrance to Fire
Fire is a large nightclub in Vauxhall, occupying ten railway arches (not all in use at any one time).[1]

It is managed by Orange Nation, whose other Vauxhall power club Area closed permanently in August 2014.[1]

In 2007 Fire was subjected to a large-scale police raid in search of drug dealers.[2] The police were criticised for taking photographs of clubbers.[3]
