Fire crews douse 'fuse box' blaze
Fire crews have spent about 14 hours fighting a blaze at a house in Surrey that is believed to have been started by an electrical fuse box fault.

About 60 firefighters tackled the fire in the loft of a three-storey property in St George's Hill, near Addlestone, at about 1750 GMT on Sunday.

An aerial ladder and two water carriers were used to douse the blaze, which was still being extinguished at 0800 GMT.

Surrey Fire said no one was inside the building at the time.
