A man in his 80s died on Saturday night after a fire destroyed much of his two-storey terraced house on Granville Road in Wood Green, north London. The blaze was first reported at 22:15, and around 40 firefighters from several local stations responded to the scene with six fire engines. By 23:30, the fire was under control. A woman managed to escape before emergency services arrived but no other injuries were reported. Both the London Fire Brigade (LFB) and the Metropolitan Police are investigating the cause of the fire, which destroyed the entire first floor and half of the roof.
