A Jacuzzi burst into flames last night but its owners escaped unhurt.
Firefighters were called to the outdoor tub, in Lock Road, Ham, at about 8.20pm after it developed a suspected electrical fault.
Firefighter Bishop, from Kingston fire station, said a passer-by had called 999.
Two fire engines from Kingston put the fire out.
He said: "We stopped it spreading and from doing any further damage.
"We do get them from time to time but it's fairly unusual in this area.
"Nobody was hurt."
