One side of the building appeared to be in flames. Forty fire engines and 200 firefighters had been called to the scene early Wednesday morning.
The building is the Grenfell Tower in west London.
The Metropolitan Police said two people were being treated at the scene for smoke inhalation and cordons were in place.
George Clarke, the presenter of “Amazing Spaces,” told Radio 5 Live he was covered in ash even though he was 100 meters (yards) from the scene.
He said he saw people waving flashlights from the top level of the building and saw rescuers “doing an incredible job” trying to get people out.
Most of the residents in the building are muslim.
#2 you and your liberal ilk are very fast to jump to conclusions, the need to pointing out that the majority of the residents in the building were of the Islamic faith was to foster collaborative and culturally sensitive communication and to ensure that in this holy moth of Ramadan that the people not be given food or water by insensitive Christians and to ensure we confirm that this does was not done by some “lone wolf” Christian terrorist, after all we all know that Islam is a religion a peace and therefore if there are numbers of Islamic terrorists in the UK in recent months that has nothing to do with Islam but rather due to racist indigenous English people oppressing members of the Islamic faith.
