A fish and chip van was completely gutted after it burst into flames.
The Frying Squad mobile van went up in flames on a quiet residential street, leaving one man with minor burns.
London Fire Brigade were called to the posh street in Wimbledon, south west London, just after 4pm on Friday, but the fire was under control within the hour.
London Ambulance Service said an ambulance and a Hazardous Area Response Team were sent to the address.
A man was treated for minor burns at the scene.
Mobile fish and chip van company The Frying Squad, based in Hither Green, south east London, confirmed it was one of their vans.
A spokesperson said: “We have been in business for ten years and nothing like this has ever happened before.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
