No injuries reported as unsafe disposal of smoking materials causes Greenford house fire
By Dimitris Kouimtsidis 26th Aug 2021
NO injuries have been reported as a house caught fire in Greenford.
The Fire Brigade was called at 5:02pm on July 30, to a property on Windmill Road and brought the blaze under control by 7:18pm.
Four engines and around 25 firefighters from Ealing and Northolt attended the scene.
Firefighters tackled the fire in the garden of the terraced house, involving a gazebo and garden furniture.
The inferno had also spread to the external fittings of two neighbouring properties.
Fire investigators believe the blaze was accidental and caused by the unsafe disposal of smoking materials.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Fires caused by smoking materials including cigarettes, roll-ups, cigars and pipes, result in more deaths than any other type of fire.
"Stub cigarettes out properly and always dispose of them carefully.
"Make sure smoking materials are cold before emptying ashtrays.
"Preferably wet stubs before throwing them into a bin."
