Two people have been rushed to hospital after a suspected ‘gas leak’ at a Nando’s restaurant sparked an emergency response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The London<\/a> Fire Brigade descended on the branch of the chain chicken eatery in the O2 Centre in the Hampstead area of north-west London at 10.45am today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The capital’s fire service had received reports of a leak at the food outlet on the ground floor of the indoor mall, which sits on the busy Finchley Road high street.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Such leaks can be highly dangerous or even fatal, by causing fires or gas poisoning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thankfully, when firefighters carried out a sweep of the popular peri-peri chicken spot, they did not pick up any elevated gas levels in their readings.<\/p>\n

But a man and a woman had to be taken to hospital after they were assessed by paramedics at the scene.<\/p>\n

Firefighters isolated the restaurant’s gas supply as a precaution – and the branch will remain closed until further notice. All other outlets in the centre are open as usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They worked at the scene for nearly two hours, until around 12.30pm, when they handed over to the relevant gas company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: ‘Firefighters responded to reports of a possible gas leak at a restaurant in a shopping centre on Finchley Road.<\/p>\n

‘Crews carried out a systematic sweep of the property and detected no elevated readings.<\/p>\n

‘A man and woman were assessed on scene by paramedics, before being removed to hospital.<\/p>\n

‘Firefighters isolated the property’s gas supply as a precaution.<\/p>\n

‘The brigade was first called about the incident at 10.45am, and the incident was over for firefighters by 12.28pm, when responsibility was left with the gas authority.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the O2 Centre has previously said: ‘The current situation is that the issue is being investigated. The restaurant will remain closed until further notice.’<\/p>\n

The London Fire Brigade, Nando’s, the O2 Centre and the London Ambulance Service have been approached for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
