Firefighters tackle enormous blaze at Bromley home
A home was “destroyed” by an enormous blaze that needed 40 firefighters to put it out.
Six fire engines were required to tackle a fire in Springfield Road, Bromley, yesterday evening.
A three-storey detached house under refurbishment had caught fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
One of the firefighters’ 32 metre turntable ladders was used as a water tower to fight the fire.
The fire produced large amounts of smoke and the London Fire Brigade’s (LFB) 999 control officers received 14 calls about the fire.
A spokeswoman for the LFB said: “The brigade was called at around 4.35pm and the fire was brought under control by 6pm. Crews from Bromley, Orpington, Eltham, Sidcup and Forest Hill fire stations attended the scene.
“The fire is being treated as accidental and is believed to have been caused by hot works being carried out.”
