Fifteen fire engines rushed to the inferno at about 5.45 pm, which had erupted out of the two flats in Aldgate, east of the city.
The recently constructed apartment building’s sixth-floor balcony is where the terrifying video captures the fire erupting.
An apartment on the seventh level of the same building had been the scene of another fire.
A spokesperson for the London Fire Brigade (LFB) told The Sun: “Fifteen fire engines and around 100 firefighters dealt with a flat fire on Leman Street in Aldgate.
“Two flats on the sixth and seventh floors of the building were alight.
“Firefighters led 11 people to safety. There are currently no reports of any injuries.”
Crews were mobilised from stations in Whitechapel, Shadwell, Shoreditch, Dowgate, and Bethnal Green, along with other nearby units.
LFB added that the fire was eventually brought under control by 7.33 pm.
Borough Commander Lucy Macleod, who was at the scene, said: “Crews acted swiftly to bring the fire under control, but will remain on site this evening to damp down remaining hotspots.
“Road closures are currently in place, and there is significant congestion in the surrounding area. We urge the public to avoid the vicinity where possible while we continue to work to make the scene safe.
“One of the Brigade’s 64-metre turntable ladders was used as an observation tower, providing a vantage point for incident commanders to assess the incident.
“We’re working closely with our partners to ensure support is available for residents affected by the incident.”
Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson told The Sun: “We were called at 6.28 pm today (Sunday 20 April) to reports of a fire in Leman Street, E1.
“We sent resources to the scene, including members of our Hazardous Area Response Team (HART), members of our Tactical Response Unit and an incident response officer.
“Our crews assisted our emergency services partners at the scene, but were later stood down when it was determined there were no patients for us to treat.”
Just last week, a massive fire tore through a block of apartments in the adjacent Bethnal Green, sending eleven people to the hospital.
The Grenfell tragedy seems to have taught us nothing – high rise buildings should not be built anymore, they’re unsafe!
This is not the first in a long line of fires in this concrete jungle eyesore that is being built across London.
Thank goodness that people have been accounted for and well done by the fire brigade and emergency services.
Blocks of flats are just death traps, it only takes one person’s common sense to go out the window and up it goes!
