During the response, a 64-meter turntable ladder was utilized as an observation tower, allowing incident commanders to better assess the situation.

Approximately 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines responded to a blaze that broke out around 5:45 PM, rapidly spreading from a sixth-floor flat to the flat above.

Borough commander Lucy Macleod praised the swift action of the crews and urged the public to avoid the area due to ongoing road closures and significant congestion.

The London Fire Brigade confirmed that the fire has been contained, although the cause remains unknown.

A witness reported to Sky News that the fire appeared to be under control, with the turntable ladder playing a critical role in the response.
