A number of staff were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation and shock. 70 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze as Adina Campbell reports.

It would normally have been a very busy day, being so close to christmas. Tonight, staff have confirmed that the zoo will be open tomorrow. Three quarters of the cafe and shop has been affected by the fire, as well as half the roof. The cause is still unclear. Adina campbell, bbc news. The bbc understands the government is considering introducing tighter regulations on woodburning stoves. Ministers are expected to launch a consultation in the new year on how to tackle increasing problems with air pollution caused by the popularity of woodburners in homes. Dennis milligan from the Stove Industry Alliance who explains how the more modern designs are already having an effect gone down and the reason for that is woodburning stoves are now efficient in terms of how they burn the wood and produce fewer emissions than open fire or a stove produced ten years ago. S0 a better design, is it . Better design, better technology. So, particularly it comes from the incomplete combustion of wood and the stoves that are made today burn the wood much better and produce fewer emissions. Compared with say an open fire, particularly . Yes. What we found or what was found in the research is that in london, for example, 70 of the wood that is burned there is burned on open fires. Thats the worst way to burn wood because the emissions are greater. What more are you doing as an industry to try to combat this problem . Well, eco design is the european wide legislation designed to reduce emissions and its due to come into force in 2022 for woodburning stoves but the sia decided to introduce those stoves now ahead of the legislation so we can maximise the reduction in emissions and we are now looking at the next cut we can make in terms of emissions from stoves. But 2022 the uk wont be in the eu, arent you off the hook . Well, no, i understand theyre bringing the legislation in through the repeal bill. Basically they signed up to it and theyre putting it into effect. We have moved ahead in that we are introducing the stoves now, we call them eco design ready because that means the stoves are ready to meet the new lower limits for emissions. The benefit is that fewer emissions than open fire and 80 fewer emissions on a stove manufactured ten years ago so theyre a significant drop in the emission levels.

The blaze which has been burning for more than two weeks has scorched an area greater than new york city, brussels and paris combined. Among those tackling the flames are thousands of prisoners, some of whom have been given a new sense of purpose by the work, as our correspondent james cook reports. Its pretty challenging. Sometimes were right there, right next to the fire. Compared to being in prison and being here, its completely different. Here you feel free. Youre out in the world. The biggest change for me is mental, because ive never pushed myself as hard, ever in life. California has 4,000 inmate firefighters, men and women. Cutting firebreaks is risky work, two have died this year. But there are rewards too in reduced sentences and a sense of purpose. After being in this programme, ifeel like ive been rehabilitated and ifeel like i can go out there and achieve anything i want to because ive done this. This is so hard. We were allowed inside this prison camp in malibu. There are no walls or fences here. Violent or volatile prisoners are not allowed to join the programme. With a job like this, there is only time to think about the work. Latoya najar is serving four years for causing the death of her seven year old son in a drunken car crash. The attraction for me was because of my crime, i could come out here and do something positive. Its challenging mentally to get over something. Im never going to get over it, but to try to ease my mind and this has helped. With california facing more frequent and more destructive fires, some critics call this slave labour. But the project is voluntary, it may reduce re offending and it provides some measure of redemption. Everyone is like, we love you firefighters. We all wave back and we wave to the kids. Its amazing, yes. The work may be exhausting, it may be dangerous, but in the words of one prisoner, its better than twiddling yourthumbs injail. James cook, bbc news, in southern california. The Charity Crisis at christmas opened its centres to four and a half thousand Homeless People today. Crisis is warning that that the number of what it describes as hidden rough sleepers could increase by almost 50 per cent over the next decade. 0ur correspondent anisa kadri went to meet some of those seeking help. I would like to get my hat fixed if possible. It may look like like a trip to the tailors, but this is a free service for Homeless People who need to get clothing and accessories fixed. And it is part of crisis at christmas, offering people without a home, warmth, company and support over the festive period. I have been sleeping rough and then a crisis guy got me into a Night Shelter and the shelters are very good, but it is more christmassy here. It is a bigger wide open space, there is more movement, there are more people and you have a bigger choice of people to associate with. All day, volunteers have been here providing hot food and hot drinks to the people who have been coming to this centre for crisis at christmas. And over the next few days, the charity expects more than 4000 people to walk through its doors at centres like this around the country. It is a chance for staff to meet people who have been sleeping rough and give them support over christmas. 11,000 volunteers are taking part over the next few days as crisis warns of a growing homelessness problem. I volunteer because i dont celebrate christmas myself, so its nice to do something on a day when i wouldnt be that busy anyway and volunteering with crisis. It is a lot of fun and it feels like im helping a lot of people. I think the best of the volunteers. I think they are doing a greatjob, beautifuljob, brilliantjob, thanks to them, there are nice people around me, im very happy. As long as i am not on the street, ive got a roof, ive got nice food, have got a nice dinner, but it is not all about food and sleep, you know. It is all about the chance to be myself and i hope that this is going to be my last year and that next year will be better. But for now it is just about making life a little bit easier for Homeless People over the christmas period. Anisa kadri, bbc news.
