Enfield fire: Three children in hospital as 70 firefighters tackle blaze at Maybury Close flats
Three children have been taken to hospital after a block of flats went up in flames.
Seventy firefighters tackled the inferno in a three-storey block - which saw all of the roof catch fire. In total 10 fire engines were sent out. There were 14 people in the block at the time, and all of them got out. Police and fire investigators are now investigating.
The first call came in at 5.19am today. London Fire Brigade said the whole of the roof was alight and so was most of the second floor of a three-storey block of flats - both of which have been destroyed in the blaze. Two of the Brigade's 32-metre turntable ladders were used as water towers to help extinguish the fire from height.
The fire, in Maybury Close in Enfield, north London was under control by 8.10am.
London Fire Brigade, which sent crews from across north London including Enfield, Edmonton, Chingford, Tottenham, Woodford, Southgate, said the cause of the fire is not known at this stage.
