Devastating images show the aftermath of multiple homes damaged by fires in west London within a day.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) was first called to Sudbury Heights Avenue , Greenford, at 12.22am on Monday (April 10).
A property was left completely damaged, with another suffering damage to the first floor and roof.
Both homes were evacuated and there are no reports of any injuries.
It was under control by 4.05am.
Hours later, firefighters were called to Lundy Drive, Hayes, at around 12.22pm.
The blaze affected the ground and first floors of a two storey terraced house, and its roof, before spreading to the roofs of other houses.
Four properties in total were affected, although the extent of the damage is not yet known.
The fire was under control at 3.12pm.
Just more than an hour later, LFB were called to Hilary Road, Shepherd's Bush, at 4.19pm.
A mid terraced house was left completely damaged by a fire, and a second mid terraced house sustained damaged to part of the ground floor, half the first floor and part of the roof.
An end of terrace house also suffered fire damage to its roof.
The fire was under control at 7.24pm.
Investigations into the Shepherd's Bush and Hayes fire remain ongoing, but LBF said the Greenford fire was caused by a disposable barbecue.
A LFB spokesman said: “It appears that a resident had been using a disposable barbecue and was it left on the timber decking which caught alight.
“It is really important that people don’t use barbecues on balconies or on top of tower blocks as you could be putting the lives of the residents inside the building at risk.
"Always make sure barbecues are completely cool before leaving them unattended.”
