Sadly, a man has died following a house fire on Weirdale Avenue in Whetstone.
Most of the ground and first floors of an end-of-terrace house were damaged by fire. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus rescued a man via an internal staircase using a fire escape hood. Two men were taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service crews, where one sadly later died.
The Brigade was called at 0104 and firefighters began to leave the scene by 0234. Fire crews from Southgate, Barnet, Finchley and Hornsey fire stations attended the incident.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Brigade and the Metropolitan Police Service.
