Fire breaks out in Kingston tower block
- 7-12-2010
About 75 firefighters are tackling a blaze at a block of flats in south-west London.
The top four floors of the 15-storey Madingley block in the Cambridge Estate in Kingston-upon-Thames are alight, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) has said.
The fire began at about 1645 BST and 15 fire engines are at the scene.
An LFB spokeswoman said it was unclear at this stage if anyone had been trapped by the fire but the council said building has been evacuated.
The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames said Madingley had 60 flats and all its residents - about 150 people - had left the block. It said no-one had been left inside.
The LFB could not confirm this.
A further four nearby blocks - which house about 250 people - have also been evacuated for safety reasons.
