Firefighters have issued a reminder of their cooking safety advice following a fire at a flat on Talbot Close in Tottenham.
There was a small fire in the kitchen of a ground-floor flat. Firefighters rescued a man who was then taken to hospital.
The fire is believed to have been accidental and caused by cooking.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Fires are more likely to start in the kitchen than any other room in the home.
"This incident is a timely reminder to make sure you never leave cooking unattended. If you do have to leave the room, turn off the heat."
The Brigade was called at 1230 and the fire was under control by 1312. Three fire engines and around 15 firefighters from Tottenham and Stoke Newington fire stations attended the scene.
• Avoid leaving cooking unattended
• Don't cook if you are tired, have been drinking alcohol or taking medication that might make you drowsy
• Take care not to lean over hot hobs and keep tea towels and cloths away from the cooker and hob
• Be careful to keep the oven, hob, cooker hood and grill clean to avoid a build-up of fat and grease, which could ignite and cause a fire
• Double check the cooker and hob are turned off when you've finished cooking
Supervise children and pets in the kitchen at all times and keep matches and saucepan handles out of reach
