LONDON, England (CNN) - A massive fire on Friday engulfed a four-story building that contained the offices of Future Films in central London, sending clouds of white smoke over the city skyline, the London fire department said.

Two firefighters with minor injuries were taken to the hospital, London ambulance services said.

The London Fire Brigade dispatched 12 engines and 55 firefighters to battle the blaze on Dean Street, which began around 2 p.m. (9 a.m. ET).

Future Films Limited founder and 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).
