A woman has been hospitalised following a fire at an end-of-terrace house on Pipewell Road, Carshalton, this morning (September 19). The London Fire Brigade (LFB) was called to the scene at 10:46 AM, where four fire engines and 25 firefighters worked to tackle the blaze, which damaged half of the ground floor.
The fire was brought under control by 11:22 AM, just under 40 minutes after the LFB arrived. Crews from fire stations in Mitcham, Sutton, Wimbledon, and Twickenham attended the scene.
