Firefighters are reminding people of their white goods safety advice after a fire at a nursery on Windmill Road in Ealing.
Part of an external utility room was damaged by fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
The fire was accidental and believed to have involved a tumble dryer.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “It’s important to make sure you’re aware of white goods safety and to check your appliances.
“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.
“You should also always keep your white goods in a safe place out of the way as if a fire does break out you will need clear escape routes.
The Brigade was called at 1946 and the fire was under control by 2011. Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters from Ealing, Acton, Chiswick and Heston fire stations attended the scene.
