Summary at a Glance

Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were dispatched to the scene, but by the time they arrived, the fire had already spread across most of the property.

A family-of-three left homeless after a blaze tore through their home of 25 years said they have lost “absolutely everything” - but are grateful “we have our lives”.

London Fire Brigade said the incident was caused by an e-scooter battery which had burst into flames while it had been left on charge.

Thankfully, Bernadette, 43, and her two children, Tyrone, 20, and Lashana, 16, were out of the house when the fire started.

It took eight fire engines and approximately 60 firefighters to put out the fire.
