More than 70 firefighters in London battle tremendous blaze at famous market

London firefighters successfully battled a fire in Camden early Monday morning.

London Fire Brigade tweeted out an image of the flames, saying that 10 fire engines and over 70 firefighters were dealing with the incident at Camden Lock Market.

In an update, the fire brigade said that the first, second and third floors of a building within the market — along with its roof — were all alight.

By 3:20 a.m. local time, however, the fire brigade said that the blaze was under control. Crews, it said, would be "dampening down" the burn into the morning.
