Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters were called to a flat fire in Chiswick in the early hours of Monday morning (22 February).
The blaze took hold in a four-roomed flat on the third floor of the building on British Grove shortly before 1.37am.
Damage was limited to the flat in which the fire started and there were no reports of any injuries.
It took the Fire Brigade less than an hour to get it under control. Fire crews from Chiswick, Hammersmith, Acton, Fulham and Richmond fire stations attended.
Sub Officer Daniel Scarlett, who was at the scene, said, “On arrival crews were faced with smoke coming out of the third-floor window and discovered a fire in the kitchen of the flat.
“The residents were out of the building before the Brigade arrived and crews worked quickly to stop the fire from spreading and causing further damage.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
