A fire has torn through a block of flats in Croydon, with residents evacuated and people told to avoid the local area
Allan Brown, 44, who lives and works in Croydon and witnessed the fire, said: "From where I was standing, which was quite close at one point, many residents, including children, could be seen running from the building's lower floor, with some residents trying to get back into the building."There were residents leaving the building and trying to get back into it, but the blaze was very high.
A London Ambulance Service spokesman, who said an ambulance crew, an incident response officer and members of a hazardous area response team were sent to the incident, added: "We treated a man and a woman at the scene but did not take anyone to hospital."
