More than 100 people were evacuated from a TK Maxx store in Kilburn after smoke began pouring from a doorway.
Fire engines were called to the shop on Kilburn High Road at 3.30pm yesterday (Aug 8) which has flats above it.
Smoke was coming from a heating element at the front door of the shop on the ground floor. Crews assisted electrical engineers to isolate the power supply before leaving.
