Four children have died in a tragic London house blaze.
Photographs shared on social media show multiple emergency services vehicles in attendance at an incident reportedly unfolding on Collingwood Road.
Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters were called to the house fire on Collingwood Road in Sutton. The first fire crews on scene were faced with an intense blaze throughout the whole of the ground floor.
Firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the mid-terrace house and brought four young children out of the property. They were given immediate CPR by firefighters at the scene, who continued to administer treatment to assist London Ambulance Service crews on arrival.
All four children were removed to hospital where, tragically and despite the efforts of all involved, were pronounced deceased.
