Fire Drama on London's Burning set

Amazed firefighters were called to a blaze yesterday at the studio where TV's London's Burning is filmed.

The fire, which destroyed paint and props, started in a warehouse as two workmen were using a grinder.

none of the ITV show's stars was at the studio, just 300 yards from the Big Brother house in Bow, East London.

A witness said last night: "The workmen tried to put out the fire with extinguishers, but eventually had to call out the real fire brigade.

"None of the London's Burning stars were around - but I bet the workmen wished they had been.

"When the professionals came along, they put it out within minutes."

A London Fire Brigade spokesman said: "We were called out to deal with a fire at the studios in Bow, at around 5pm.

"It involved studios six and seven, and was put out quite quickly. It was not a big fire."

A London's Burning spokeswoman said: "The cast are on holiday, and none was involved."
