Firefighters have issued a reminder of their cooking safety advice following a flat fire on Ordnance Road in Enfield.
Part of a second-floor flat was damaged by fire. Four people left the building before the Brigade arrived. There were no reports of any injuries.
The fire is believed to have been accidental and caused by unattended cooking.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Fires are more likely to start in the kitchen than any other room in the home. If you have to leave the kitchen, turn off the heat and never leave cooking unattended.
"You can keep safe by following our simple cooking tips such as never placing anything that can catch fire near the hob. Keep all objects, like tea towels, cloths, plastic bowls and anything flammable well away from the cooker and always check the hob is turned off when you've finished cooking.
"We also recommend taking some time to carry out a few simple checks to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. The Brigade’s online Home Fire Safety Checker can guide you around your home and provide you with specific advice to reduce fire risks.”
The Brigade’s Control Officers took the first of five calls to the fire at 1522 and sent four fire engines and around 25 firefighters from Enfield, Chingford and Edmonton fire stations to the scene. The fire was under control by 1558.
