Investigators believe a fire in Thornton Heath yesterday morning was accidently caused by overheating in a hot water system.

Around 150 people were evacuated from a hotel on Dunheved Road at around 8:30am after the blaze was discovered in the basement. 

Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters called to the scene had the fire under control within half an hour. 

There were no reports of any injuries.
