THREE people escaped unhurt from a house fire in Thornton Heath after a woman's shower caught fire while she was using it.
Firefighters from Norbury fire station and West Norwood were called to Mersham Road just after 10pm last night but the three occupants had already got out of the house.
The police and ambulance were not called but the fire investigation unit soon discovered the cause of the blaze to be an electrical fault in the shower.
Firefighters spent around 30 minutes at the scene to put out the flames which caused 20 per cent damage to the ground floor of the house.
