Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters were called to a flat fire on Mornington Grove in Bow

Firefighters used a turntable ladder as an observation platform and used a thermal imaging camera to check for fire spread.

The fire is believed to have been accidental and caused by sunlight refracted through a glass bottle, which ignited cardboard packaging on the kitchen worktop.
