Three people have been evacuated from their home after the outbreak of a fire.

London Fire Brigade (LFB) sent four fire engines and around 25 firefighters to a blaze at a semi-detached house on Empire Road in Perivale on Monday (January 29).

This comes after LFB was called at 9.09am and firefighters from Wembley, Park Royal and Northolt stations rushed to the scene.

Firefighters attended and found half of the first floor damaged by the blaze, which had prompted three people to evacuate.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation, LFB said.
