Firefighters battled a blaze at the under restoration music venue Koko in London on Monday night, according to fire officials.
Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters worked to get the fire under control, according to the London Fire Brigade. Videos from the scene show smoke and flames billowing out from the roof. Koko, previously Camden Palace, is currently closed for"major state-of-the-art transformation," according to its website. It was set to reopen in the spring.
The music venue located in Camden, north London, is famously known for hosting many big name music acts, including Madonna, Prince, Kanye West and Bruno Mars. The building was originally opened in 1900 as the Camden Theater."Hard work and dynamic action has helped prevent significant escalation and fire spread," Jonathan Smith, assistant commissioner for brigade control and mobilising, tweeted.
