A large fire broke out Sunday morning at a Kosher supermarket in Northwest London.
Crews responded to the scene shortly after 7:30 AM, (local time) at Kay’s Kosher supermarket in Princess Parade, off Golders Green Road.
The block of buildings consists of stores on the ground level, with apartment upstairs. All of the shops were reported alight, with flames spreading to many of the upper level rooms.
At least 70 firefighters and 15 fire engines reported to the scene. 25 people were evacuated from the building. 3 people had to be rescued by fire crews, and were led to safety via a ladder – as seen in the attached video.
A total of 15 people were treated for minor injuries, including smoke inhalation. Hatzola volunteers were at the scene, and took a number of patients to nearby hospitals.
The cause of the blaze has not yet been identified.
