A WARNING has been issued after a mirror caused a bedroom fire in Otley.

The incident, involving a vanity mirror on top of a chest of drawers by a window, took place on Sunday, May 13.

The mirror had reflected sunlight onto the drawers causing the wood to eventually catch alight, and the blaze then spread to the rest of the room.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's Fire Investigation team posted an image of the damage that had been caused on Twitter the following day.

They tweeted: "Fire started by reflected sunlight.

"Be careful where you put that mirror!"

No-one was injured in the fire.
