At least 15 fire crews are reported to have attended the scene at Craven Walk, near Clapton Common in Hackney, as onlookers removed Torah scrolls from the building. The firefighters faced hazardous conditions after the blaze swept through the ground floor of the four-storey building and caused it to collapse into the basement. Images from the scene showed plumes of smoke and bright flames rising from the school as crowds of passers-by looked on.

Station Manager Nicola Lown, who is at the scene, said: "The ground floor has partially collapsed into the basement leading to hazardous conditions. "Two fire rescue units are also on the scene and their equipment is being used to shore up the ground floor. "This will enable crews wearing breathing apparatus to gain better access to the fire in the basement." Ambulances and the Metropolitan police are also reportedly on the scene.
