Fire engulfs London building, possibly film production company; no reported injuriesPosted: 11:20 AM ET
LONDON, England (CNN) - A massive fire engulfed a four-story building in central London on Friday, sending clouds of white smoke over the city skyline. There were no immediate reports of injuries as a result of fire at the commercial building on Dean Street. The London Fire Brigade dispatched 12 engines and 55 firefighters to battle the blaze, which began around 2 p.m. (9 a.m. ET). As a result of the fire, an adjacent street - the W1 - was closed to traffic and pedestrians. The building's address matches that of Future Films Limited but the company's managing director Stephen Margolis had no comment about the reported fire when reached by CNN. Future Films has been involved in the production of over 120 films since Margolis created the company in 2000, including "Bend it like Beckham" (2002), "The Importance of Being Earnest" (2002), and "Transsiberian" (2008). – CNN's Per Nyberg and Laura Perez Maestro contributed to this report |
