A person has been taken to hospital following a fire at a block of flats on Wolseley Street in Southwark, believed to be caused by unsafe candle use.
Firefighters have issued a reminder of their candle safety advice following the flat fire, emphasizing never leaving candles unattended and keeping them away from flammable materials.
Candles are one of the most common causes of fire; consider using battery-powered, flameless LED candles instead for safer alternatives, even when falling asleep.
If you do choose traditional candles, place them in heat-resistant holders and blow them out properly before bed to prevent accidents.
