Two men had to be rescued from a flat on fire in Kennington after it is believed cooking was left unattended.
Three fire engines and around fifteen firefighters were called to the incident last Tuesday (March 1).
Crews wearing breathing apparatus rescued two men from a first floor flat in Kennings Way. They were assessed on scene by ambulance crews.
The flat was partially damaged by fire. Firefighters believe the fire was caused by cooking left unattended.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Never leave cooking unattended on the cooker or hob. You should have working smoke alarms in every room where a fire can start, plus a heat alarm in the kitchen and the bathroom. They should be tested regularly.”
The Brigade was called at 2107 and the fire was under control by 2130.
Fire crews from Lambeth, Dowgate and Brixton stations attended the incident.
