Two men escaped a blaze after they tried heating a tin of spaghetti with a toaster.
London Fire Brigade firefighters were called to a maisonette on Wartlersville Road in Upper Holloway at just after 9.30pm on Monday 9 July. The fire was under control at just after 10pm.
Four fire engines and around 20 firefighters attended the scene from Holloway and Kentish Town fire stations. The two men escaped the blaze before crews arrived on the scene.
Watch manager Adam Barnett, who was at the scene, said: “The two men had wedged the toaster on and were cooking a tin of spaghetti on top of it. Thankfully no one was injured and we managed to prevent the fire from spreading to other homes. There were no smoke alarms in the property so I would urge everyone to get one today. And it’s never a good idea to try and heat a tin on your toaster, as we’ve seen here, it can be really dangerous."
