Four fire engines and roughly 25 firefighters were called to a fire at a house earlier today (April 20) in Rixsen Road, Manor Park.

No injuries or fatalities have been reported, with a woman and three children leaving the property before the fire brigade arrived.

Part of a single storey extension at the house was damaged by the fire, plus part of another extension of a neighbouring home.

The brigade was called at 2:35pm, and the fire was reported as being under control just under an hour later, by 3:23pm.

It was attended by crews from East Ham, Stratford, Plaistow and Ilford.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
