A man has been taken to hospital after a fire broke out at a restaurant this morning.
The ground floor of the Masala Canteen at High Road, Wembley was alight this morning (August 12).
According to the London Fire Brigade, the fire also spread to part of the extraction system from the ground to third floor.
Fifteen fire engines have since been called, with around 100 firefighters tackling the fire.
A man who left the building before the brigade arrived was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, and has since been taken to hospital.
Smoke seen arising from the restaurant
Eventually, the fire was declared under control by 1.37pm today, but crews will remain on scene throughout the afternoon.
Station Commander Dave Hill, who was at the scene, said: "Firefighters were faced with heavy smoke issuing from the building on arrival.
"Our Control Officers took a large number of calls to the blaze due to the amount of smoke.
"The building is on the junction with Ealing Road and there are a number of local road closures in place so traffic is heavy. We would advise motorists to avoid the area where possible as we will be on scene for some time."
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
