🔥 Dramatic Flat Fire in Kilburn! 🚒
Late last night, a massive fire broke out in a semi-detached flat on Christchurch St, Kilburn, keeping 60 brave firefighters busy battling the flames. Crews from West Hampstead, North Kensington, Willesden, and nearby stations joined forces to tackle the inferno, receiving a total of 18 emergency calls after midnight.
The blaze demolished the first floor and roof of the two-storey building, which had been converted into flats. Five residents managed to escape before the fire brigade’s arrival and received immediate care from the London Ambulance Service.
Firefighters worked tirelessly through the early hours, eventually bringing the situation under control by 4 am. A dramatic scene unfolded as one of the Brigade’s 32-metre ladders was deployed to combat the fire from above.
The cause of the blaze remains a mystery as investigations continue. Our thoughts are with those affected, and we salute the incredible efforts of the emergency services. Stay safe out there, everyone! 💪💙
