A large blaze has broken out at a block of flats in Catford.

Firefighters were called to the fire at the tower block on Rosenthal Road at the junction with Rushey Green at 12.51pm on Wednesday.

Footage of the fire shows flames bursting through a burnt out flat on one of the building’s top floors.
Two flats on the 9th and 10th floors of the building were alight, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.

The fire was under control at around 2.15pm and there were no reports of any injuries. Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters tackled the blaze.

The Brigade's 999 Control Officers have taken almost 50 calls to the blaze, the LFB said.

Fire crews from Forest Hill, Greenwich, Deptford, Lee Green and surrounding fire stations are at the scene and the cause of the fire is not currently known.
