Around 100 firefighters are tackling a blaze in Notting Hill, west London, this morning.
Images show Halloween revellers surrounding fire engines as smoke pours from the roof in Oxford Gardens.
The blaze was under control by 6:12am.
No one was reported to be injured, but three storeys of a house were destroyed.
Part of the first floor and the roof of a detached house converted into flats were damaged, alongside half of the second floor and a mezzanine.
Station Commander Duncan Rees, who was at the scene, said: ‘Crews worked hard to bring the fire under control in the early hours of this morning.
‘One of the Brigade’s 32-metre turntable ladders was used as a water tower to tackle the flames from above.
‘We asked the public to avoid the area where possible as we worked to bring the incident safely under control.’
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
