Crews from 20 fire engines worked to tackle the flames at New Providence Wharf on Fairmont Avenue in Poplar, London. Photos from the scene show billowing black smoke reaching the top of the 19-storey building. And videos circulating on social media show scores of ambulances and police cars lined up on the street below. Residents could be heard screaming for help as the fire burned. Parts of the eighth, ninth and tenth floors were alight, the London Fire Brigade said. The London Fire Brigade said two adults had gone to hospital after suffering the effects of smoke inhalation and a further 38 adults and four children were treated at the scene.
