Western Europe's largest mosque Baitful Futuh in Morden engulfed in fire

It was a massive fire in South London as a team of 70 firefighters try to battle an enormous blaze that engulfed Western Europe's largest mosque Baitful Futuh in Morden. Ten fire engines were dispatched to handle the fire which started burning around midday.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 27 September 2015.

One person was shifted to hospital for smoke inhalation, but in the opinion of community leaders no one else appears to have been affected. The cause of the blaze is not yet known.
The enormous building occupies a 5.2acre site and can accommodate upward of 10,000 people and, when the fire broke out, there were only a handful of worshippers inside who were quickly evacuated. Fortunately, no one was at prayer when the fire broke out.
The effort to control the massive fire involved the police, ambulance services and the large fire brigade presence and, the A24 was shut down and traffic was tailed back for miles as a result. By evening, the London Fire Brigade announced that the fire had been contained.
