Fifteen fire engines and 100 firefighters rush to early morning blaze at terraced house converted into flats in Kensington

Around 100 firefighters are battling a devastating blaze at a block of terraced houses in London tonight.

More than a dozen fire engines were called to Emperor Gate in South Kensington just after midnight after the blaze broke out on Friday March 1.

Video from the scene shows flames tearing through the roof and top floor of the building as firefighters attempt to extinguish the blaze.

Footage shared on social media showed multiple emergency services at the scene, with a cordon set up to prevent members of the public from passing through.
