About 70 firefighters are tackling a blaze at two flats on the ninth and 10th floors of a tower block in south-east London. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) received more than 50 calls to the fire in Catford on Wednesday 4 September, as videos on social media showed flames and smoke billowing from the building. An LFB statement said: “Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters are tackling a fire at a block of flats on Rosenthal Road in Catford. Two flats on the ninth and 10th floors of the building are currently alight. “The brigade was called at 12.51pm. Fire crews from Forest Hill, Greenwich, Deptford, Lee Green and surrounding fire stations are at the scene.” It comes on the day of the final report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry into the 2017 fire which killed 72 people.
