Firefighters Battle Staircase Plant Fire in London

Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters attended a factory fire Sunday morning in the London suburb of South Woodford.

Firefighters tackled a fire at the factory of a loft room staircase company, where a significant part of the two-story building was damaged by the fire. 

The Brigade was called at 1:30 a.m. and the fire was under control by 3:01 a.m.. Fire crews from Woodford, Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Chingford, Hainault, Ilford and Stratford fire stations attended.

The Brigade believe the cause of fire was hot embers from the incinerator igniting the paladin bins containing timber and sawdust.
