Three people have died after a fire at a building in west London, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) has said. The fire service received reports of the blaze in New Zealand Way, White City, at 6:52pm on Saturday. Firefighters rescued three men from a single-storey building and they were treated by paramedics at the scene near Loftus Road, home of Queens Park Rangers football club. Two were declared dead at the scene and another died later in hospital, LFB said. Fifteen fire engines and around 100 firefighters attended the incident. LFB Assistant Commissioner Pat Goulbourne said the cause of the fire is being investigated by the brigade's specialist fire investigation officers and the Metropolitan Police. He stated that the fire involved a single-storey pavilion, with just over half of the structure damaged by the flames. Goulbourne added: "Control officers mobilised crews from North Kensington, Acton, Chiswick and surrounding fire stations to the scene. Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control by 9:25pm."
