“Around 300 people were evacuated by on-site staff and crews carried out a systematic search of the property to ensure no one was inside on arrival. A man and a woman were treated on scene by London Ambulance Service crews.”
The fire was put out by 10.18pm by up to 35 firefighters, the LFB said.
Two were treated at the scene by the London Ambulance Service and an investigation is now underway to establish the cause of the blaze.
