Fire Erupts at Former Streatham Police Station
Firefighters were scrambled to Streatham High Road on Tuesday afternoon after a fierce blaze tore through the old police station. Six fire engines and an aerial ladder rushed to the scene following multiple 999 calls to the London Fire Brigade.
Homeless Shelter in Flames
The fire broke out just after 4.30pm on December 20th inside the building, which is believed to house homeless people. Authorities swiftly closed several roads surrounding the site, with closures expected to remain for some time.
Emergency Services Respond
Fire crews battled the blaze while the Metropolitan Police coordinated safety measures on the scene. Both the London Fire Brigade and Met Police have been contacted for comment but have yet to provide updates.
More details to come as the situation develops.
