Fire Ravages London’s Chiltern Firehouse, Celebrity Hotspot Closed Indefinitely

The historic luxury hotel and restaurant was evacuated as over 100 firefighters battled a blaze that caused significant damage but no injuries.

A fire broke out on Friday afternoon at the Chiltern Firehouse, a Grade II-listed building in Marylebone, London, forcing the evacuation of around 100 people.
The blaze originated in the ducting system on the ground floor and spread to the roof and plant room of the four-story hotel and restaurant, which is a favorite among celebrities and royals.
More than 125 firefighters and 20 fire engines were deployed, successfully containing the fire to the property and preventing its spread to neighboring buildings.
The hotel, which was set to host a Netflix BAFTA party on Sunday, has been closed indefinitely as investigations into the cause of the fire continue.
Significant damage was reported, with the roof and third floor destroyed and parts of the second and ground floors affected, though no injuries were reported.
