About 125 firefighters are tackling a blaze at a block of flats in north-west London.

Twenty fire engines were called out to Elm Road, Wembley, on Monday evening.

Video from the scene showed fire spreading between flats, while a firefighter on an aerial ladder sprayed water over the building.

Firefighters from Wembley, Park Royal, Northolt and surrounding fire stations were called to the scene, the London Fire Brigade said.

It initially sent 10 engines and 70 firefighters just after 16:40 GMT.

The LFB said that part of the building's roof was alight, and urged people to avoid the area.

It said the cause of the blaze was not yet known.
