BREAKING: Seventy Firefighters Tackle Blaze at Chingford Shop as Roof Partially Collapses

Around 70 firefighters and ten fire engines have been deployed to a fire on Hall Lane in Chingford, east London, after part of the roof of an end-of-terrace shop collapsed.
The building, which has residential flats above the ground-floor commercial premises, was struck by the blaze with firefighters from the London Fire Brigade responding in significant numbers to tackle it.
Part of the roof structure has already given way, raising concerns for the safety of the upper floors where flats are located.
