Around 100 firefighters tackled a fire at a block of flats for over 14 hours in south-east London.
Fifteen fire engines were called to tackle the blaze on Hatcham Park Mews in New Cross throughout yesterday evening and into this morning.
A number of local residents were evacuated to a nearby rest centre and hotel while crews worked to get the fire under control.
The roof of the building was destroyed, London Fire Brigade said, while part of the first floor and most of the second floor was damaged in the fire.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported in the fire and the cause of the fire is currently unknown.
Two of the Brigade's 32-metre turntable ladders were used as water towers to tackle flames from height.
Station Commander Patrick Ackroyd, who was at the scene, said: "Crews worked hard in challenging conditions to bring the fire under control and are expected to be on scene throughout the morning.
"The fire generated a large plume of smoke, particularly around the junction of New Cross Road and Queens Road. We asked people who live or work nearby, to keep windows and doors closed.
"The incident also caused significant traffic disruption, so we asked people to avoid the area where possible."
The Brigade's Control Officers took the first of 12 calls to the fire at 16.27 and mobilised crews from New Cross, Peckham, Greenwich, Deptford and surrounding fire stations to the scene. The fire was under control by 0648.
