When the call came in, firefighters rushed to the scene where a raging fire had already consumed two floors of a house in east London. The early morning blaze had caused serious injuries to five people, and tragically, claimed the life of a child. The terraced house on Napier Road in East Ham was the scene of the devastating incident, with the fire starting on the ground and quickly spreading to the first floor.
Authorities later confirmed that the child had been found deceased inside the property. However, no further details have been released about the child's identity. The five others who were injured in the fire were quickly transported to a major trauma center for urgent medical care. At this time, their condition remains unknown.
With the fire still raging, it took the efforts of 40 firefighters to bring the inferno under control by 9:09am. Thankfully, their swift actions prevented the fire from spreading any further. As a precaution, the police have closed off Napier Road while they continue their investigation into the cause of the fire.
Dozens of firefighters were called to the scene to assist in extinguishing the fire and ensuring the safety of those in the surrounding area. Five individuals are still receiving treatment in hospital, and the cause of the fire is still unknown, according to reports from the fire brigade.
London Fire Brigade's Assistant Commissioner, Patrick Goulbourne, expressed his condolences, saying, "This is a terribly sad incident, and the thoughts of all of us at London Fire Brigade are with the family, friends, and all those affected during this difficult time." He also reassured the public that support and guidance will be available to those in need.
Rokhsana Fiaz, the Mayor of Newham, where East Ham is located, praised the quick response of the firefighters. She also extended her prayers for the safety of all those affected by the fire.
