On February 14, the London Fire Brigade responded to a fire at Chiltern Firehouse, with over 125 firefighters dispatched to combat the blaze that started in a ground floor restaurant. The incident, which took over eight hours to control, saw the roof and third floor destroyed but no injuries reported among the 100 evacuees. The cause of the fire was determined to be accidental, involving burning wood from a pizza oven. Firefighters praised for their efforts managed to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring properties.
"Crews worked incredibly hard for over eight hours in arduous conditions. Presented with a complex fire in a historically significant building, firefighters successfully contained the fire, preventing it from spreading to neighbouring properties."
"Around 100 people evacuated the building before the Brigade arrived and thankfully there have been no reports of any injuries. Firefighters remained on scene overnight and into Saturday damping down hotspots."
