One man was taken to hospital by the London Ambulance Service, suffering from minor burns and smoke inhalation.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "It is vital that you never try and tackle a fire yourself, as they can cause injuries as seen in this incident. Stay well away from the fire and always get out, stay out and call 999 right away."
