London firefighters dealt with tower block blaze

LONDON (Reuters) -The London Fire Brigade said it had tackled a blaze at a residential tower block in the south east of the capital on Wednesday, adding that there were no reports of any injuries.

“Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters tackled a fire at a block of flats on Rosenthal Road in Catford. Two flats were alight. There are currently no reports of any injuries,” the fire brigade said in a statement.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

The incident comes on the day a public inquiry published its report on the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in which 72 people died.
