- Story Text: A large fire ripped through a railway arch in London on Monday (June 28), sending a ball of flame and plumes of black smoke billowing up high into the sky.
Police said the incident beside Elephant and Castle station in south London was not terror-related. There were no immediate reports of anyone being injured.
Eyewitness footage at the scene showed a ball of flames shooting out of the building into the smoke.
The London Fire Brigade said 10 fire engines and 70 firefighters were tackling the blaze which raced through three commercial units, causing trains to be diverted.
"Road closures are in place and people are advised to avoid the area and keep windows and doors closed," the fire brigade said.
