Staff reporter(wp/es):
Dozens of firefighters battled a blaze as it ripped through a shop in north-west London.
Flames tore through a shop and flats in Harlesden on Wednesday morning.
Some 35 fire fighters rushed to the scene of the blaze in Park Parade just after 7.30am.
Six crews worked to tackle the fire which destroyed part of the shop’s ground floor, London Fire Brigade said.
Two people were taken to hospital suffering smoke and carbon monoxide inhalation, London Ambulance Service added.
Motorists were urged to avoid the area.
Station Manager Jerome Kumedzina said: "The fire was affecting a large part of the building’s ground floor and our crews worked incredibly hard to get it under control.
“We are now extinguishing remaining hot spots on the property's first floor. Park Parade is still cordoned off while we deal with the incident so motorists should avoid the area."
Bystanders took to social media to discuss the situation.
