Chaos hit Battersea as eight fire engines and 60 firefighters rushed to tackle a blazing fire on Battersea Park Road.
Three-Storey Building Engulfed
The fire is ripping through the second floor of a three-storey building that houses shops on the ground floor and flats above. Thick smoke is drifting through the area, forcing locals to keep windows and doors shut.
