Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters responded to a fire on Willesden High Road, affecting a shop with flats above, with five people hospitalized.
Heavy smoke prompted fire officials to advise local residents to keep their windows and doors closed, while firefighters worked to control the blaze and rescue those trapped.
"Crews worked hard to access the voids and bring the fire under control," said Station Commander Chucks Abili, highlighting the challenges faced by firefighters.
Road closures were implemented on Willesden High Road, with crews from multiple stations attending the scene to manage the fire and ensure safety.
