Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters tackled a fire in the garden of an end of terrace house in Alnwick Road, Eltham.
A fence was destroyed and some camping and gardening equipment was damaged. Part of the external fascia and soffit of the house, as well as a small part of the loft area was damaged by fire and a soffit and fascia of a neighbouring house were also damaged. A propane cylinder was removed and cooled to an ambient temperature, as some cylinders can explode when exposed to heat.
The Brigade was called at 1009 and the fire was under control by 1117. Fire crews from Lee Green, Eltham, Forest Hill and Greenwich stations were at the scene.
The cause of the fire is undetermined.
