Londoners are being warned against using candles after a spate of fires over the festive period.
One woman was taken to hospital after a fire broke out at a house in Edmonton, north London, on Saturday evening. This came two days after fires at a house in Hayes, south-east London, and another one in Croydon, south London.
Meanwhile on Christmas Eve, about 40 firefighters attended a fire at a maisonette in Peckham, with two adults treated for smoke inhalation.
All four fires were believed to have been caused by lit candles left unattended.
