Several Fire crews have been called to a house fire in the Yeading area of West London after thick black smoke was seen rising above nearby homes.
Residents reported seeing the smoke from around Northolt and the White Hart area, with several people saying emergency services were responding in Maple Road, Yeading.
Witnesses reported seeing around three or four fire appliances attending the incident, while photographs and video shared locally appeared to show flames and a significant plume of smoke.
One local resident described the incident as a house fire.
There are also unverified claims circulating locally that the fire may have been started deliberately.
UKNIP has not been able to confirm those claims, and they should not be treated as established fact unless confirmed by London Fire Brigade or the Metropolitan Police.
There have also been claims concerning the occupants of the property, but these have not been officially verified.

Further information has been sought and the story will be updated when the emergency services confirm the circumstances.
