Firefighters have issued a cooking safety reminder after a flat fire on Union Road in Croydon.
Part of a flat on the first floor of a residential building was damaged by fire. One woman and a child were taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service crews.
The cause of the fire is believed to have involved cooking.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Fires are more likely to start in the kitchen than any other room in the home.
"Cooking should never be left unattended on the hob or grill - if you have to leave the kitchen, turn off the heat.”
The Brigade was called at 1942 and the fire was under control by 2020. Three fire engines and around 15 firefighters from Beckenham, Mitcham and Forest Hill fire stations attended the scene.
