Fire breaks out in central London

At least 65 firefighters are tackling a fire in a building in central London, London Fire Brigade (LFB) has said.

Fire crews were called to Field House in Chancery Lane, near Holborn, at about 1540 BST on Wednesday.

Flames can be seen reaching up to the sky from the roof of the five-storey building which the LFB said was being refurbished.

The fire is in the Immigration and Appeals Commission building. No-one is trapped inside.

Let's hope this is under control soon.

So, that was at 14:40 then.

The news report was updated at just before 7pm and said the fire was still alight.

I only just saw this and was interested and thought maybe others may of been too.:rolleyes:

It's still going. That's just over 6 hours now. That's not good.

As for the time, I was just bemused that it said the fire crews were called at 15:40 BST.

omg............over 6 hours is a long time, that's not good.

A fire is always dangerous, but especially in a city. I hope it gets under control soon. Keep us posted, Chezzie.



Makes me think of the tragic fires 100 years ago in major cities.

I was in central London yesterday and mum called me in a panic,

I dont think she realises just how big London is.
