FIREFIGHTERS are urging people to unplug their electrical appliances overnight after a recent fire.
Crews were called to Cook Way, Broadbridge Heath, at 1.22am on Tuesday after the occupier called 999.
The fire is believed to have started from a portable battery power pack, often used for charging devices such as mobile phones, laptops and tablets.
The battery pack was left on top of a mattress and caught fire.
Nobody was injured and the fire was out on arrival.
Andrew Parsons, fire investigation officer, said: “I cannot emphasise the importance of unplugging electrical charging devices before you go to bed enough."
