Roof fire

Firefighters were called to a roof fire in Galley Hill Road, Waltham Abbey at 10:34pm last night.

On arrival, crews reported that the roof of a bungalow was 100% alight.

Crews from Harlow and Loughton worked alongside crews from Herfordshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Cheshunt crews and London Fire Brigade’s Enfield crew to extinguish the fire in sections. 

Two people had escaped the property before crews arrived and firefighters worked together to rescue one woman. 

All three occupants were left in the care of the Ambulance Service. 

A fire investigation will be carried out to determine the cause of the fire.
