THE WEIRD AND SOMETIMES NOT SO WONDERFUL...

Burnt Cheese Toastie

A group of students in London recently turned a toaster on its side in an attempt to make a cheese toastie, which sparked a blaze that soon gutted the entire room. There were, fortunately, no reports of any injuries.

Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters from Sidcup, Bexley, East Greenwich and Lee Green fire stations attended the scene. Part of the ground floor of the three-storey block was damaged by fire.

Firefighters are now warning people ‘not to use toasters on their side to make cheese on toast’. A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: ”The fire started after a resident placed a toaster on its side and inserted bread and cheese. They then left it cooking unattended. Only use electrical products for their designated use.”
