London [UK], May 13 (ANI): UK Police have been carrying out an investigation after a small fire erupted at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's north London home in the early hours of Monday morning. The London Fire Brigade was called at 1:11 am (local time) and they quickly brought the fire under control, Politico reported.

Nobody was hurt in the incident, though the front door was damaged and a cordon remains in place on the street and police is present at the site. A resident of the street said he heard a loud, one-off bang, that sounded like a 'firebomb' and possibly shattered glasses.

Counterterror police were involved in the investigation, and the fire is being treated as suspicious. While Starmer as the UK's PM resides in Downing Street, however, he still retains his north London residence.

A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: 'Firefighters were called to a small fire outside a property' in Kentish Town Monday morning.' The spokesperson further stated, 'Two fire engines from Kentish Town Fire Station attended the scene.'

Metropolitan Police said that police were alerted by the London Fire Brigade regarding reports of fire at a residential address, Politico reported.

In a statement, a Metropolitan Police said, 'On Monday, 12 May at 1.35 a.m., police were alerted by the London Fire Brigade to reports of a fire at a residential address.'

Downing Street said Keir Starmer was grateful to the emergency services for their work but could not comment further due to the ongoing probe. (ANI)
