second floors were damaged.

Five people were treated on the spot by paramedics before being sent to the hospital, according to a London

Fifteen fire engines are tackling the fire, which began at around 3.45am.

LFB Station Commander Mike Watts, who is at the scene, said: “There are road closures in place and we urge people

to avoid the area, particularly as we head into rush hour, due to congestion.
