THE top floor of a house in Winchmore Hill caught light yesterday.
Firefighters from Southgate, Enfield, Tottenham and Edmonton were alerted by several 999 calls just before 1pm to the house in Old Park Ridings.
They arrived to find the upper floor of the house well alight.
Six fire appliances and around 40 firefighters attended.
One firefighter said: “The thick black smoke could be seen for miles around, we could see it as we left the station."
Nobody was in the house at the time.
