FIREFIGHTERS rescued people from a flat after a fire broke out in a kebab shop below.
The emergency services were called just before 3pm this afternoon to a blaze in the Hoe Street shop, Walthamstow, close to the High Street junction.
Part of Hoe Street was closed by police while firefighters attended to the fire and was re-opened shortly after.
The fire is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault and is not being treated as suspicious.
