Flames and black smoke billowed out of the windows of two flats on the ninth and 10th floors of a 13-storey tower block in Catford.

Approximately 70 firefighters, 10 fire engines and several ambulance crews were sent to Rosenthal House, a block of 40 flats built in 1969, shortly before 1pm.

Fire crews from Forest Hill, Greenwich, Deptford, Lee Green and other stations were dispatched to the scene.
