In the early hours of the morning, when residential buildings are typically quiet and residents are asleep, a potential fire incident was swiftly identified and resolved in a residential area of London, thanks to the vigilance and professionalism of the onsite SRS Security-Concierge team. Shortly before 01:00, that sense of calm was briefly disrupted when a resident approached reception after noticing smoke and visible flames coming from a rubbish bin near an underground access point.
