A huge fire has been brought under control at a block of flights in London after 100 firefighters were seen tackling the blaze as shocked residents watched on.
Fire crews say half of a five-bedroom flat on the 15th floor of the block was on fire, with part of the roof also alight at the block in Bromley, South London. London Fire Brigade was first called to the blaze at 11.58am, with around 95 calls made about the "very visible" fire to its 999 control centre.
According to our sister site My London, 15 fire engines were on scene tackling the blaze at the height of the fire, which forced trains to run at a reduced speed in the nearby area. An update from LFB this afternoon said crews were making "steady progress", having brought the fire under control shortly after 4pm, and are expected to be on the scene for several hours dampening down the area.
