The London Fire Brigade is urgently requesting that people steer clear of the Canning Town area as a massive fire engulfs a building. The structure, located near Silvertown Way, is currently undergoing construction. According to LFB, approximately 10 fire engines and 70 firefighters are currently on the scene, working tirelessly to extinguish the flames. In light of the situation, the brigade is advising individuals to avoid the area until the fire is under control.
A spokesperson for the brigade stated, "Our brave team of 70 firefighters, alongside 10 fire engines, are actively responding to a fire at a construction site in Canning Town, near Silvertown Way. To assist in our efforts, we have also deployed our 64m ladder to the scene." As thick plumes of smoke billow into the sky, residents are advised to steer clear of the area until further notice.
Silvertown Way, a main road that runs through east London and is in close proximity to the ExCeL Centre, has been partially blocked off by multiple fire engines. Onlookers have been spotted stopping to watch or take pictures and videos of the intense smoke that can be seen from a distance. This is an ongoing situation and updates will be provided as they become available. Stay tuned for more information.
