No one hurt in east London basement fire

London fire officials say no one was hurt after fire broke out in the basement of an east-end home on Sunday morning.

Firefighters were called to the home on Oxford Street just west of Highbury Avenue just after 10 a.m.

"Fire crews have made quick work of a dry/basement fire on Oxford," the London Fire Department said on Twitter.

Oxford Street was temporarily closed while crews battled the blaze and vented smoke out of the house.

A damage estimate and a suspected cause of the fire have not been released.
