Two young children and their parents were taken to hospital after firefighters put out a kitchen blaze started by a faulty microwave last night.
Three fire engines were called to a house on Johnson Road, off Whitehorse Road, Croydon, at 11.15pm last night.
The parents led their two children to safety before the fire service arrived - who contained the fire within the kitchen.
The family, whose kitchen was said to be badly burnt, were all taken to Croydon University Hospital as a precautionary measure for smoke inhalation.
