Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters were at the scene

Four fire engines were called to a flat after a fire broke out in Tottenham yesterday evening.

Around 25 firefighters attended the scene on Park Lane at 8.53pm. Two men and two women had vacated the flat on the first floor of a five-storey building before the London Fire Brigade arrived, suffering burns and smoke inhalation.

They were treated at the scene by London Ambulance Service crews.

The fire was under control by 9.47pm. A small amount of damage was caused to the property.

Fire crews from Tottenham, Edmonton, Stoke Newington and Hornsey fire stations attend the fire.

The cause of the fire is now under investigation.
