Six engines and around 40 firefighters fought a house fire in Eltham yesterday.

The brigade was called shortly before midday to Winn Road, with crews from Lewisham, Forest Hill, Greenwich and Sidcup stations attending the scene.

The occupants, a man, woman and two children, left the building before services arrived. There were no reports of any injuries.

Part of the loft conversion and roof of the detached property were damaged, as the fire was brought under control by 1.30pm.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
