London: Fire Near Euston Station Under Control

A building near London’s central Euston railway station caught fire, causing major travel disruptions for thousands of passengers. The alarm was raised shortly after 9:30 a.m. local time, prompting the London Fire Brigade to deploy ten appliances and around 70 firefighters. The blaze is now under control, though crews remain on-site to fully extinguish it. Video footage shows thick smoke rising from the structure, with a 32-meter aerial ladder used to deliver water from above. A nearby pedestrian bridge was closed for safety. Train services were briefly suspended due to the fire’s proximity to rail lines, affecting multiple operators. National Rail expects delays to continue until at least 3:00 p.m. local time. The cause remains unknown, and there are no reported injuries.
