The London Fire Brigade were summoned to deal with a massive fire that started in east London in the vicinity of where the main stadium for the London Olympics will be going.
The fire-fighters were called at 1206 GMT on Monday to put out the fire at a disused warehouse in Waterden Road, Hackney Wick, near Stratford, it has been reported.
The blaze has created a huge plume of black smoke that can be seen right across the skies of London.
The warehouse where the fire began is on the edge of the site chosen to be the Olympic Village and although the building was due to be demolished in the near future it was not to be done in this dangerous way.
