About 100 firefighters tackled an overnight fire at a block of flats in north London.
Half of the roof of the three-storey building on the Grange Estate in East Finchley was alight, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.
About 60 people left the building before the Brigade arrived. There were no reports of any injuries.
Station Manager Peter Gustafson, who was at the scene, said: "When crews arrived they were faced with a well-developed fire in the roof space of the building."
The Brigade was called at 00:02 and the fire was under control by 02:05, but firefighters are expected to remain on scene damping down hotspots.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Away from the Tube strike, the points failure at London Waterloo is now expected to cause disruption for the rest of the day.
Trains are unable to use platform one because of a problem with a set of points meaning services are being cancelled or delayed.
Finn Brennan, Aslef's organiser on London Underground, has warned there will be a "network-wide shutdown in the run-up to Christmas" if TfL does not make the changes union members want.
He said Aslef's executive committee will "discuss resolutions from our branches on the Hammersmith and City and Northern lines asking to be balloted for action, with other branches set to follow".
"Senior figures at Transport for London need to realise just how serious the industrial relations problems on London Underground have become and start to deal with them," he added.
Nick Dent, director of line operations for London Underground, has called the strike action by RMT and Aslef was "totally unjustified".

Members of the RMT union and drivers' union Aslef are walking out in disputes over industrial relations, including staffing and working conditions.
The RMT said the strikes were over "a comprehensive breakdown in industrial relations, a failure to employ enough drivers, a wholesale abuse of agreed procedures and the victimisation of a trade union member".
Finn Brennan, Aslef's organiser on London Underground, said the union was calling for "a rapid change of approach from management, working inside existing agreements instead of trying to circumvent or reinterpret them".
TfL said agreements had been made "on all but a few points following extensive discussions".
But it claimed both unions were demanding the reinstatement of two drivers sacked over serious safety breaches - one who deliberately opened the doors of a train in a tunnel and another who failed a drugs test before a shift.
RMT described its members at a picket line in Leytonstone as being "rock solid", external in their strike action.
Large queues have formed outside Ilford Rail station as people try to board TfL Rail services.
TfL Rail have warned that services in east London are very busy.
With the Central Line suspended, commuters at Stratford are packing on to buses and the Jubilee Line to continue their journeys.
The walk out by Central Line drivers has been "solidly supported", according to the RMT.
General secretary Mick Cash said union members "are standing absolutely rock-solid and united the length of the Central Line this morning as they send out the clearest possible signal that they will not be bullied into accepting a wholesale undermining of workplace justice and rights."
