Blaze prompts plug-in air freshener warning

Twenty firefighters tackled a fire in a bungalow that is believed to have been caused by a plug-in air freshener. Four fire engines attended the property in Stanmore in Middlesex on Thursday 8 September at around 9.30pm.

London Fire Brigade believes the fire was caused by a plug-in air freshener that overheated because it was covered by clothing. The fire was under control shortly after 10pm.

Stanmore watch manager, said: “When we arrived we were faced with an intense fire and crews did extremely well to stop it from spreading to the roof and adjacent properties. Thankfully nobody was in the bungalow at the time of the fire.

“If people use plug-in air fresheners, they need to be careful to follow the instructions and never place materials next to or on top of them, as they can overheat and cause a fire.”
