Emergency services rushed to the scene of a building fire on High Road in Harrow Weald this afternoon (Thursday, 5 June).
The incident unfolded right next to KFC, with smoke seen coming from the building – above Harrow Weald Memorial Club – as firefighters work to bring the blaze under control.
The road was closed just outside Harrow Weald Recreation Ground, and a crowd gathered nearby to watch the situation develop.
