Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters tackled a house fire on Khartoum Road in Ilford.
Half of the roof of an end-of-terrace house was damaged by fire. There were no reports of any injuries.
The Brigade’s 999 Control Officers took 11 calls to the blaze.
The cause of the fire is believed to have been accidental and involved a halogen lamp.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Lightbulbs can get incredibly hot and can set fire to combustible materials.
"It's important to keep them away from anything that might catch fire such as books, clothing, sheets and curtains.”
The Brigade was called at 1915 and the fire was under control by 2018. Fire crews from Ilford, Barking and East Ham fire stations attended the scene.
