Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters responded to an outdoor fire impacting multiple gardens on Burnside Avenue, Chingford.
Four external sheds and adjoining fences were destroyed by the fire. A fifth shed and a further two other fences were partially damaged. There are currently no reports of injuries.
Two gas cylinders were removed and cooled to ambient temperatures, as gas cylinders can explode when exposed to heat.
The Brigade’s Control Officers took the first of 13 calls reporting the incident at 1507 and deployed crews from Chingford, Walthamstow, Woodford and surrounding fire stations. Firefighters had the incident under control by 1656.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by London Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Police Service.
