Two fire engines responded and the blaze was brought under control by 1:33. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Metropolitan Police said they were alerted to the fire at 1:35 and found damage to the entrance of the property. \u201cThe fire is being investigated and cordons remain in place while enquiries continue,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BBC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c9wgrngplnro\">reports<\/a> that the residence is owned by PM Starmer, who is currently living at 10 Downing Street and has rented out the Kentish Town home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police stated that the fire is being treated as suspicious and that counter-terrorism officers are leading the investigation \u201cas a precaution and due to the property having previous connections with a high-profile public figure,\u201d according to BBC News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, a spokesperson for Starmer said: \u201cThe Prime Minister thanks the emergency services for their work and it is subject to a live investigation.

A third incident occurred last Thursday, involving a vehicle fire reportedly connected to Starmer\u2019s former car outside his current residence, Swinford reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities have not publicly confirmed any motive or suspects in connection with the incidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Counter-terrorism police in London have launched an investigation into a series of suspicious fires targeting properties linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, according to officials and media reports.
