People evacuated from London flats due to fire (video-photos)

Around 100 firefighters battled the fire

Newsroom July 26 07:54

Around 100 firefighters battled a blaze on the top floor of a block of flats in north-west London early on Thursday.
Fifty people were evacuated from the block, while firefighters helped bring out two people on the first floor of the building.
The London Fire Brigade said 15 engines attended the scene in Inglewood Road, West Hampstead, after being called at just after 1am.

About four and a half hours later, the LFB said the fire was under control and no one was taken to hospital.
The fire, which was visible for miles, was on the fifth, and top, floor of the building and the cause was not yet known, LFB added.

The nearby Black Lion pub, on West End Lane, opened its doors to people affected by the blaze.
A tweet read: “Please anyone near stay safe. We will be here all night.”
Angelica Malin described watching the blaze from her bedroom window.
