Early morning Northolt house fire sees three people taken to hospital

Three people were taken to hospital after a fire involving terraced houses in Northolt during the early hours of Friday (16 October 2026).

Around 70 firefighters and ten fire engines were called to Vincents Path shortly after 4.15am.

London Fire Brigade said a communal staircase and the entire second floor of one terraced house were destroyed in the blaze, along with part of the roof. A neighbouring house was also partly damaged.

Three people were taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service crews.

Firefighters used a 32-metre turntable ladder as an observation tower, while drones and thermal imaging cameras were also deployed during the operation.

The Brigade received eight calls about the fire, with crews from Northolt, Wembley, Harrow, Southall and surrounding stations attending.

The fire was brought under control by 6.23am.

The cause is being investigated by London Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Police.
