The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Fire rips through heritage-listed London church” – below is their description.
A fire tore through a heritage-listed church in north-west London on Thursday night, prompting a major emergency response.
Around 80 firefighters and 12 fire engines rushed to St Mark’s Church in St John’s Wood after being alerted to the blaze at 11.19pm.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said that the fire was brought under control at 2.22am on Friday morning, but that the whole two-storey building was “destroyed”. There were no reports on injuries.
The LFB said it used three ladders, including the tallest in Europe at 64 metres, as towers to distribute water evenly and extinguish the blaze.

Video and pictures captured large flames and smoke billowing from the structure.
