A woman who regularly takes naps while cooking had a lucky escape after a fire broke out in her kitchen.
Wimbledon Fire crews were called to Worple Road in Wimbledon at about 12.30am on Thursday, April 12, after the woman, who had taken a nap while waiting for her food to cook, did not wake.
A spokesman for Wimbledon fire station said: "She does her cooking and goes to sleep and that’s a regular routine for her.
"She had set an alarm but hadn’t woken up. We were called as a consequence. Her cooking had caught alight.
"It hadn’t caused much damage but it warranted us going out."
