A charging vape sparked a devastating house fire which completely destroyed a bedroom. Emergency services say the residents will be unable to stay in the property for 'some time' after the blaze.
The incident occurred earlier this week in Essex after a vape was left unattended whilst charging and overheated. The device then caught the bedding and mattress alight and subsequently sent the whole room into flames, according to Essex County Fire and Rescue (ECFR).
The emergency services were called to the scene of the fire at roughly 1:40pm on November 15 to tackle the flames. Four different fire crews from Maldon, Witham, Chelmsford, and Colchester were sent to the house, reports Essex Live.
