🚒🔥 Intense Fire in South-East London: 100 Heroes Step Up! 🔥🚒
A huge blaze erupted at a shop and flats in Perry Vale, Forest Hill, calling 100 brave firefighters and 15 fire engines into action! They battled the ferocious flames for over three hours last night. The London Fire Brigade shared gripping images of the scene outside Finches Emporium, a popular skiing and snowboarding shop, where flames soared high and thick smoke filled the air.
Thankfully, all 15 evacuated residents are safe, and there are no injuries reported. However, the fire still raged through parts of the building’s ground, first, and second floors, as well as a workshop at the back. The cause remains a mystery for now.
🚧 Avoid the area if you can, as a 25-metre safety cordon is in place, and significant traffic and transport disruption is expected. Local residents are advised to keep windows and doors shut due to smoke spreading.
Station Commander Anthony Lewis warned, “This situation will continue through the night as we strive to contain and extinguish this fire.”
Stay safe, everyone, and spare a thought today for our incredible firefighters risking it all! 💪 #LondonFire #CommunityAlert #Firefighters
