Sadly, a man has died following a house fire on Queens Road in Southall.
Part of the first floor of an end-of-terrace house was damaged by fire. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus rescued a man from a first-floor bedroom via an internal staircase. He was treated on scene by London Ambulance Service crews, but was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The Brigade was called at 2220 and firefighters began to leave the scene by 2341. Three fire engines and around 15 firefighters from Southall, Hayes and Ealing fire stations were in attendance.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Brigade and the Metropolitan Police Service.
