Video – Site fire closes London Bridge…

Video captures dramatic fire high above London landmark.

London Bridge was closed briefly last night as a precaution following the outbreak of an isolated fire on a demolition site close by.

The fire was in a 12-storey former office block at King William Street that is currently being demolished by Erith Group. Report suggest that the fire started at around 18.00 yesterday evening and required the attention of four fire engines.

There are no reports of injuries but the bridge was closed for a short while as a precaution.

Once the fire was out, Erith despatched a structural engineer and a team of 10 scaffolders from other London contracts to attend the site, and carry out remedial work.

The site is back to work this morning.
