A man was forced to jump from a first-floor window to escape a fire sparked by a charging e-scooter at a house converted into flats in Acton.
The blaze broke out at the property on Noel Road on Monday afternoon and is believed to have been accidental, caused by the failure of an e-scooter battery that was plugged in at the time. The fire took hold in the entrance to the flat, blocking the main escape route.
