A house fire on Sundridge Road in Croydon has prompted a reminder to register your white goods.
Part of the ground floor of a mid-terraced house was damaged by fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
The cause of the fire is believed to have involved a tumble dryer.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “If your white goods start making a strange noise, don’t ignore it. If you think there’s a problem always unplug it and contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician.
"Most fires where white goods are the source of ignition are not down to anything you have done – so always make sure you register your appliances as you’ll be informed if any issues are identified with the product you’ve bought."
The Brigade was called at 0030 and the fire was under control by 0101. Two fire engines and around 10 firefighters from Woodside and Croydon fire stations attended the scene.
