I think Mt. St Helens would work-- I certainly associate it with fire and splodeyness. You should be fine.
But recent explosions/fires. There's always the Great Fire of London, not exactly recent, but certainly still evocative. The Blitz would work too. Or Australian bushfires, for recent reference points, even though it's not the UK. The July 7 bombs in the capital, too.
Not sure if any of those suggestions will work with what you're planning, but. :)
