About 100 firefighters are tackling a large fire at a takeaway in north London.<\/p>\n

Half of the ground floor of the building on Seven Sisters Road in Holloway is alight, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Part of two flats on the first and second floors remain alight, LFB added, but the cause of the fire is unknown.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the scene, Station Commander Mike Watts said road closures were in place and urged people to avoid the area due to smoke and traffic congestion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The fire is producing a lot of smoke in the vicinity and local residents are advised to keep their windows and doors closed while we work to bring the fire under control,” he added.<\/p>\n

The brigade said it received 19 calls about the blaze, with the first one coming in at 03:45 GMT.<\/p>\n

It added 15 fire engines were on the scene at the blaze including crews from Kentish Town, Islington, and Euston.<\/p>\n

Ten fire engines and 70 firefighters attended a separate fire in West Hampstead in north London, also on Thursday, which was brought under control by 05:23.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The blaze broke out at a end-of-terrace house converted into flats on Lyncroft Gardens.<\/p>\n

In that fire, part of the roof of the building was alight and firefighters evacuated around 25 people to safety, but there were no reports of any injuries.<\/p>\n

Station Commander Ken Spratt, who was at the scene, said: “West Hampstead Fire Station has been set up as a rest centre for residents affected by the fire.”<\/p>\n

The first call was made to LFB at 03:09 and crews from West Hampstead, Paddington, North Kensington, Hendon and surrounding fire stations attended the scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
