Firefighters who caused flooding as a result of pipe explosion in London evacuated people

The London Fire Brigade was called in after the main water pipe burst on London’s Belsize Street at 2:50 am local time today.

• The depth of the flood is estimated to be about half a meter.
• In a statement to The Guardian newspaper, the water spread “about 800 meters”, according to the company’s statement.
• According to the British news site Daily Mail, at least 25 people were evacuated from their homes.
• The site also stated that “thousands” of London residents will be affected by the maintenance of this pipe.
• The UK water supply company reported that rising temperatures over the next few days could cause other pipes to burst.

Neighborhood residents showed the flood today on social media and thanked the firefighters for their work. One Twitter user wrote, “When is it better to stay inside. Surprise at 3am, sorry for my downstairs neighbors. Best not to open the front door. It’s -4ºC at night and water is coming out of your mailbox.”
