Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters were called to the 15-storey Holiday Inn hotel on Empire Way at 8.55pm last night (November 10).

A blaze had started on the fourth floor, and around 280 people were evacuated before the brigade arrived.

One person was treated for smoke inhalation by the London Ambulance Service and taken to hospital.

Crews from Wembley, Park Royal, Willesden, and Northolt fire stations brought the fire under control by 10.31pm.
