Nearly 60 firefighters spent more than four hours tackling a fire which broke out at a house in Wimbledon.
The London Fire Brigade was called to the property in The Drive just before 5.20pm (May 22).
Breathing apparatuses were used to help tackle the blaze from within the house while its roof was on fire, according spokesman for the brigade.
It was originally said by the LFB that there were 72 firefighters and ten fire engines in attendance.
However, this was later clarified as 58 firefighters and eight fire engines after the blaze was under control at 10pm.
