Thornton Heath – block of flats fire

30 May 2011

Twelve fire engines and around 60 firefighters are attending a fire at a block of flats on London Road in Thornton Heath. A storage area on the roof is alight.

Around 100 people have evacuated the building.

The Brigade was called at 1556. The cause of the fire is not known at this stage.
 
Hmm, its Tuesday afternoon, I'm trying to work but there is a PA system and some sort of festival starting up across the road in Max Roach Park. Thumping bass and someone testing a microphone. :(

At the risk of sounding nimby, I don't have a problem when this happens on the weekends but on a Tuesday? They could at least warn us.
 
That clap of thunder/flash of lightning you are talking about earlier, I heard/saw that at work up here by Tower Bridge.

Apparently it headed towards Croydon afterwards and continued down the A23 according to a friend who posted about walking the dog in the rain a little while after.

that must have been one mighty thunderbolt
 
a couple of murders

I saw those threads, but they've been up for a good while now, and apart from the name of the deceased after the KFC incident it didn't seem like there was anything major to warrant the influx... Never mind, I'm just trying to distract myself from doing some actual work. I should go on the drag thread and moan and piss about.
 
Was asleep when you posted Ed. Might be a road traffic accident but BBC London mentioned traffic delays on Josephine Avenue / Brixton Hill after an 'incident' last night.

Cordoned off at water lane this morning.

Surely not more violence?

Dunno. There was another nasty looking incident on Coldharbour Lane and also the BBC mentioned a serious incident down the road in Stockwell. Not seen anything, just been listening to the radio this morning.
 
The 'serious incident in Stockwell' was another fatal shooting, apparently.
OB there this morning said they anticipated the road being closed until at least 17.00 today. (FYI like)


EDIT: woo, 1000 posts
