Three people escaped from a fire at a house in Warwick Road in Enfield, yesterday evening.
Two men and a woman left the property before the Brigade arrived after discovering the fire. One of the men and the woman were treated by London Ambulance Service.
Six fire engines and 35 firefighters and officers attended the blaze. Most of the first floor and the whole of the roof space was badly damaged by fire.
The fire is believed to have been cause by an incense stick igniting clothing.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “Keep clothing, fabric, and hair well away from burning incense sticks, as they have hot embers that can cause fires.
“It is important to check that all candles, tea lights, incense or joss sticks are fully extinguished before you leave the room or go to bed.”
Firefighters from Enfield, Chingford, Woodford and Edmonton fire stations attended the scene. The Brigade was called at 2014 and the fire was brought under control at 2110.
