Dylan Lee, a witness, described the scene: "Around 13:25, an alarm rang out when I noticed smoke billowing from the apartment. Debris and pieces had fallen from the balcony, glass shattered and caused the fire to expand and engulf the space, with flames reaching out as the wind carried the smoke." His account points to the rapid escalation of the fire due to debris and wind.
A spokesperson for the London Fire Brigade stated that ten fire engines and approximately 70 firefighters were deployed to tackle the fire at Biscayne Avenue, which was brought under control by 3:30pm but continued to produce significant smoke. Traffic disruptions were expected as the emergency crews began to vacate the area after controlling the situation.
