Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters tackled a house fire on Okehampton Crescent in Welling.
A small part of the roof of the two storey semi detached house was damaged by the fire. One woman left the property before the Brigade arrived. No injuries were reported.
The fire is believed to have been accidental and was caused by hot works taking place at the property. Hot works tend to involve an open flame, or are activities that can produce heat and sparks capable of starting a fire.
A 32-metre turntable ladder was deployed to help extinguish the fire from height.
The Brigade’s 999 Control officers received their first call regarding the fire at 1315 and the fire was extinguished by1550. Crews from Sidcup, East Greenwich, Greenwich, Eltham, Lewisham and Orpington fire stations attended the scene.
