In Euston, Met Police officers heroically rescued approximately 20 individuals trapped in a burning hostel. The fire broke out early Saturday morning, prompting officers to conduct a daring search through the smoke-filled building. Before the fire brigade arrived, Sergeant Pete Day used extinguishers to tackle the flames, while Police Constable Luke Uzzell ensured all rooms were checked. Met Commander Stevens praised their actions, stating that the officers exemplified courage and dedication to public safety. Minor injuries were reported among three civilians and nine officers, all of whom were treated and later discharged. Investigators determined the fire's cause was accidental due to lint buildup in a dryer.
"Each and every day Met officers put their lives in danger in order to protect the public and keep the communities they serve safe."
"Without a thought for their own safety, they stepped into danger and showed exemplary courage."
