Three women rescued from first floor of Selhurst blaze

Firefighters rescued three people from a house fire on Dagnall Park in Selhurst last night.

Half of the first floor of a semi-detached house was damaged by fire. Crews rescued three women from a first-floor balcony using a ladder. They were taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service crews.

The Brigade was called just after midnight and the fire was under control by 1.25am. Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters from Croydon, Woodside and Norbury fire stations attended the scene.

A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Firefighters recommend that you have a look at our online Home Fire Safety Checker to make sure there are no hidden hazards in your home.

“The online tool will ask you a series of questions that will help us work out the level of risk in your home, or the home of someone you care for. It only takes a few minutes to get tailored advice to keep yourself and loved ones safe from fire.”

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
