Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters attended a large burst water main on Galsworthy Road in Kingston Upon Thames.
Station Commander Sacha Clement said:
“Firefighters worked quickly in hot conditions to divert water away from properties and reduce the damage. The 30 inch main has been shut off and the water is receding. However, surrounding roads will be closed for some time."
The Brigade was called at 0847 and the incident was over by 1339. Fire crews from Kingston and surrounding fire stations were at the scene.
