Five terraced houses damaged by fire in Burnt Oak
The fire spread across the terrace on Monday
Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters have been tackling a fire at a row of terraced houses on Silkstream Road in Burnt Oak on the Bank Holiday Monday.
The roof, most of the first floor and part of the ground floor of a mid terraced house were alight.
The roof and half of the first floor of a second mid terraced house were alight. The roofs of two other terraced houses were also alight. Half of the roof of a fifth house was also alight.
Local residents were advised to keep their windows and doors shut due to smoke travel in the area.
One of the Brigade's 32-metre turntable ladders was used as a water tower to help tackle the fire from above.
Control Officers took the first of 36 calls at 1604 and mobilised crews from Hendon, West Hampstead, Mill Hill and surrounding fire stations to the scene. The fire was under control by 1811.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
