A fire has broken out at the Breams 黑洞社区s which run from Chancery Lane to Fetter Lane
Police today evacuated hundreds of people from their buildings and redirected hundreds of others following a fire on the fifth floor of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) Holborn, Central London.
Officials apparently closed a large area between High Holborn and Fleet Street due to concerns about the dangers of propane gas cylinders on the site.
The fire is thought to have started at around four o' clock on a loft extension being carried out to the building.
Carillion workers from a nearby construction site said that just one street was closed at first, but that a whole area was cordoned off as the fire spread.
Sam Phillips from TRS Staffing, a recruitment firm, saw the fire from the eighth floor of his building on Kingsway. 鈥淲e could see loads of black smoke and some flames. We could see loads of people going out onto their buildings to watch it.鈥�
Sky News reported that eight fire engines had been sent to the scene.
