Around 60 firefighters tackle house fire in Chadwell Heath

Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters have been tackling a house fire on Gresham Drive in Chadwell Heath.

The first floor and rooves of two semi-detached houses caught fire on Saturday 9th August.

One of the Brigade's 32-metre turntable ladders was used at the scene as an observation tower to provide the Incident Commander with an aerial view of the fire.

Control Officers took the first of 25 calls at 1821 and mobilised crews from Romford, Hornchurch and Ilford fire stations to the scene. The fire was under control by 2021.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
