A mother, father and five children narrowly cheated death after their house went up in flames during the early hours of this morning (Tuesday).
More than 20 firefighters were called to the semi-detached property in Second Avenue, Wembley, at 12.37am, after an electrical fault sparked the blaze.
The fire damaged part of the roof but did not spread to the adjoining house and was under control by 1.29am.
The family managed to escape before the fire brigade arrived.
