Heavy smoke reaches railway track from blaze under arches

Heavy smoke spread onto a railway track caused by a fire under railway arches this morning.

Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters were called to a fire on Black Prince Road in Vauxhall at around 9am.

Firefighters tackled a fire on a railway arch which damaged half of the arch and caused heavy smoke to billow onto the railway tracks.

The Brigade had the fire under control by around 10.30am. Fire crews from Lambeth and Soho fire stations attended the scene.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has not reported any injuries and has said the cause of the fire will be investigated.
