A major fire has broken out at a block of flats in south-east London, with more than 100 firefighters tackling the blaze.
It was first reported at 1pm but 20 fire engines and 120 crew remained at the scene in Creek Road, Deptford more than five hours later.
The London fire brigade said 13 people were evacuated from the building and there had been no reports of injuries. The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
Station commander Ian Smith, of the LFB, said: “This is an intense fire located in the roof of the building and fire crews are working hard in challenging conditions.
“There is a lot of smoke from the incident and we’d ask local residents to close their doors and windows.”
Residents told the Press Association that building work was taking place on the block of flats at the time, with scaffolding visible around the walls of the building.
