E-Bike Battery Sparks Flat Fire in Hornsey, Seven Evacuated Safely

A flat fire on Rathcoole Gardens in Hornsey prompted a swift response from the London Fire Brigade on Saturday morning, with six fire engines and approximately 40 firefighters called to the scene. The fire broke out in a mid-terraced house that had been converted into two flats, affecting half of the ground floor and part of the first floor.

Seven people evacuated the property before firefighters arrived, and fortunately, no injuries have been reported. The first emergency call reached the Brigade’s Control Room at 10:04 a.m., and crews from Hornsey, Holloway, Tottenham, and other nearby stations brought the fire under control by 12:20 p.m.
