A 32-meter turntable ladder was used to help firefighters assess and tackle the blaze from above. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by both the London Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Police Service.
A spokesperson for the London Fire Brigade said: “Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters tackled a fire at a mid-terraced house converted into flats on Brookhill Road in Woolwich. One second-floor flat was destroyed by the fire and half of the roof was damaged. Around 14 people left two neighbouring properties before the brigade arrived.”
Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing.
