Firefighters from the London Fire Brigade have issued a safety warning following a house fire yesterday (7 August 2024) on Grange Road in Southall which was likely caused by a clothes iron left on.
The first floor of the three-storey home was partially damaged. There were no reports of any injuries.
The Brigade was called at 7:37pm and the fire was under control by 8:30pm. Crews from Southall and Hillingdon fire stations attended the scene.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Many fires that start in the home are caused by electrical items accidentally being left on. It’s really important to remember to switch equipment such as irons, hair-straighteners and portable heaters off as soon as you leave the room.
“Also make sure there is nothing flammable such as clothing or bedding nearby.”
