Great Fire of London

The works on the monument began in 1948!

Twenty fire engines and around 125 firefighters are tackling a fire at a warehouse in Barking, east London, the London Fire Brigade has said.

Officers were called to a single storey warehouse on Alfreds Way on Friday evening (15th May) after reports of a building being alight.

The five-star Mandarin Oriental in London, a 12-story building, caught fire Wednesday, according to reports.

From the BBC:

One man died in a West London fire, Reuters reported, citing data from fire departments.

Ten fire engines and more than 70 firefighters responded to a fire in London's Camden Market, a well-known tourist attraction, early Monday morning, the London Fire Brigade said, reported BBC. 

The blaze was under control by around 3 a.m. local time (10 p.m. ET), the fire service reported, but crews would continue to "damp down" the site into the morning to prevent any re-ignition.

The death toll from the London tower block fire has risen to 17 and the figure is expected to rise further, police said on June 15.
