A woman, a man and three children were rescued from a flat fire on Station Road in Uxbridge.
The lower ground floor carpark below a block of flats was destroyed by fire and smoke. A woman, two children and a baby were rescued from a first-floor window by Metropolitan Police officers before the Brigade arrived. A further man was rescued by firefighters from a first-floor window via a ladder. They were all treated on scene by London Ambulance Service crews alongside another man and a baby was taken to hospital.
