London Fire Brigade has issued advice following an incident in Charlton, London, where four fire engines and around 25 firefighters tackled a shed fire.
A shed, pergola and garden fence panels were completely destroyed by the fire, as well as half of a garden office. Happily, there were no injuries.
The fire is believed to have been accidental and caused by incense sticks placed too close to combustible materials.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "Incense sticks, candles and oil burners are one of the most common causes of fire within homes. It’s really important that you never leave these items unattended. Make sure you place incense sticks in a suitable, fire-resistant holder and keep them away from curtains and anything else that can easily catch fire. Remember to put them out entirely when you leave the room and especially before bed.
