Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters tackled a fire in Edmonton this morning (12th).

Most of the ground and first floors of a two-storey end-of-terraced house in on Kendal Avenue was damaged by fire. There were no reports of any injuries.

London Fire Brigade was called at 4.21am and the fire was under control by 5.29am. Crews from Edmonton, Tottenham, Enfield and Southgate fire stations attended the scene.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Firefighters recommend that you have a look at our online home fire safety checker to make sure there are no hidden hazards in your home.

“The online tool will ask you a series of questions that will help us work out the level of risk in your home, or the home of someone you care for. It only takes a few minutes to get tailored advice to keep yourself and loved ones safe from fire.”
