Around 125 firefighters are currently tackling a blaze in a 19-storey block of flats just north of the Isle of Dogs, east London. 

The London Fire Brigade was called at around 08:55 hours this morning, and 20 fire engines from Poplar, Millwall, Shadwell, Plaistow, Whitechapel and surrounding stations responded to the scene. 

According to the spokesperson for the LFB, parts of the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors are on fire. 

A spokesperson for London Fire Brigade tweeted: 

“Fifteen fire engines and around 100 firefighters have been called to a fire on Fairmont Avenue in Poplar. More information to follow.”

The London Ambulance Service are also on the scene.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
