Officials say that a large fire at the largest kosher supermarket in London’s heavily Jewish Golders Green neighborhood appeared not to be suspicious, and was caused by an electrical fault.

“Our specialist Fire Investigators, in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police Service, have worked at pace to establish that the circumstances of the fire are not believed to be suspicious and investigations on the cause and origin of the fire are ongoing,” the London Fire Brigade says.

Police say that investigators believe the blaze was caused by an electrical fault.
