Fire Sparks Mass Evacuation at Parkside House
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) raced to Parkside House on Bell Farm Avenue at 6.20pm on October 11 after flames erupted in an electrical intake cupboard on the second floor. By 7.57pm, heroic crews in breathing apparatus had the fire under control.
Thankfully, none of the eight evacuees — three adults and five children from two families — were injured. They were taken to hospital as a precaution.

All residents were forced out of their homes. Barking and Dagenham Council quickly arranged a rest centre at Dagenham and Redbridge Football Club to offer shelter and support.
