Around thirty people have been evacuated from a residential tower block in east London after a fire broke out.
The balcony and interior of a flat on the tenth floor of the 15-floor block on Queens Road West, Plaistow were alight when firefighters arrived after being alerted at about 08:00 BST by around 30 calls to the emergency services.
The blaze was brought under control by crews from London Fire Brigade (LFB) using a crane to reach the flames and douse them out.
London Ambulance Service also said it treated two patients – one was taken to hospital as a priority and other was released at the scene.
