Chiltern Firehouse luxury hotel blaze caused by falling wood from pizza oven
Briefly

A fire at the Chiltern Firehouse, a luxury hotel in London, was ignited by wood falling from a pizza oven on Valentine's Day and rapidly spread via ducting. It led to severe damage across multiple floors, notably destroying the third floor and roof. Approximately 100 guests were evacuated, and no injuries were reported. The fire brigade, using 20 fire engines and 125 firefighters, worked tirelessly for over eight hours to contain the blaze in the historic building, preserving its surroundings.
The fire started accidentally by burning wood falling from a pizza oven and igniting the void between the basement and ground floor.
Crews worked incredibly hard for over eight hours in arduous conditions, successfully containing the fire and preventing it from spreading to neighbouring properties.
