Fire in Camden Town
Crews tackle London market blaze
Up to 100 firefighters are tackling a major blaze that is spreading rapidly through London's famous Camden Market. There are no reports of casualties so far but London Fire Brigade said people were reported trapped in the fire. Firefighters were alerted at about 7.20pm to a blaze at the north side of the market, on Chalk Farm Road. Police have sealed off roads near the blaze and some houses and flats are being evacuated. Reports from the scene say the fire is spreading quickly and has consumed part of the Hawley Arms, a popular Camden pub which is frequented by celebrities including singer Amy Winehouse. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7237119.stm Quote of interest: "The fire has jumped over the Silverlink railway and the railway bridge has been pretty well scorched." Apart from it being London Overground now - I wonder what massive long- lasting disruptions it will mean for LO? |
