Firefighters are reminding people of their white goods safety advice following a fire at a mixed-use building on Creek Road in Deptford.
A tumble dryer on the first floor was destroyed by the fire. Ten people left before the arrival of the Brigade. There were no reports of any injuries.
The fire is believed to have been accidental and 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 0100 and the fire was under control by 0157. Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters from Deptford, Greenwich, New Cross and East Greenwich fire stations attended the scene.
