Fire Crews Swarm Westminster
Six fire engines, an aerial ladder, and several officers were dispatched to Parliament Square in Westminster. They launched a thorough investigation to track down the source of the smoke.
False Alarm: Generator to Blame
“Firefighters were called to reports of smoke coming from some flats on Parliament Square in #Westminster this morning. The smoke was caused by a generator starting up,” said the London Fire Brigade.
The scare was quickly put to rest, with no fire found — just a noisy generator making a bit too much smoke for comfort.
