Took 1 video on way to gym. Was about 5-6 fire engines, police and spotted an ambulance (but no sirens or flashing lights so a good sign). There was a fair amount of smoke – didn’t see any flames. Smoke was coming from top of building.
The building isn’t residential and I think may be completely empty. There are offices next door I think – hopefully no one was inside and everyone is OK. On the ground floor it used to be a club called Baby Grand and only recently building work was being done and scaffolding was around building.
On the way back from gym there were more fire engines – about 10. No sign of the “normal” ambulance but walked past an incident support ambulance – didn’t seem to be doing much. Most of the firefighters appeared to be standing around watching another firefighter go up a ladder. There was less smoke about but smoke was still coming from top of building.
Pretty much the whole of Peter Street in closed.
