Four fire engines brought the blaze at Trafalgar Road under control
AROUND 20 fire-fighters battled to put out a blaze above a betting shop in Greenwich last night.
Four fire engines were called to a building which houses a Ladbrokes shop and rooms owned by Elizabeth College in Trafalgar Road at 7.30pm.
The 20 by 30m space had around 20 percent of the first and second floors damaged by the fire.
Crews from East Greenwich, Greenwich and Deptford brought the flames under control by 9.24pm.
There are no reports that anybody was in the building at the time and fire chiefs are investigating the cause of the fire.
