The London Fire Brigade was alerted about a blaze at a semi‑detached, two‑storey house on Pocock Avenue in West Drayton last Thursday (1 October) at 8pm.
Four fire engines and approximately 25 firefighters from the Hayes, Heathrow and Hillingdon fire stations were dispatched to the scene.
The fire gutted roughly half of the ground floor before crews contained the incident at 9:21.
Two occupants left the property before firefighters arrived and were subsequently examined by paramedics.
The Fire Investigation Team has opened an inquiry into the cause of the fire.
