A fire broke out at a high-rise apartment building in south-east London, and the cause of the blaze is currently under investigation.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) was called to the flats on Rosenthal Road in Catford at 12:51 BST. About 70 firefighters and 10 fire engines were sent.
By 14:15 the brigade said the fire was under control and there we no reports of injuries.
The fire appears to have been fully extinguished, and firefighters were seen packing up their equipment after successfully managing the situation. Photographs of the building reveal blackened windows on the top three floors at the southeast corner of the tower, indicating significant damage to those apartments.
Directly below, another apartment’s window appears to have been burned out. Fire engines still line both sides of the street, and residents are gathered around, trying to make sense of the event. Fire crews from Forest Hill, Greenwich, Deptford, Lee Green, and nearby stations are on-site.
The nearly 1,700-page document released at 11 a.m. on Wednesday reveals the inquiry’s findings regarding the actions of corporate firms in the construction industry, the local authority, the London Fire Brigade, and the government.
