A family have returned from holiday to find their home badly damaged in a freak fire.
Crews were called to the home on Clopton Road in Stratford at around 3.20pm on Friday September 11.
On arrival, firefighters found fire damage to the master bedroom, but the fire was already out.
An investigation into the fire showed that a magnifying mirror was the cause having directed sunlight directly onto the curtains.
But it's actually not that unusual. I've seen glass ornaments on a windowsill have a similar effect.
