Half of a ground-floor flat in a converted, two-storey house was damaged by the fire. Firefighters rescued a man from the ground-floor. He was taken to hospital alongside another person, where he sadly later died. A further five people left the building before the Brigade arrived.
The Brigade was called at 0010 and the fire was under control at 0102. Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters from Norbury, West Norwood and Tooting fire stations were in attendance.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
