An explosion occurred at Ania's Tanning and Beauty salon in Wood Green, London, after a customer heard a cackling noise from his sunbed. The fire ignited around 2:50 PM, causing thick black smoke and prompting customers and staff to escape. A woman evacuated without clothing and received assistance from staff outside. No serious injuries were reported, but the damage may close the salon for weeks. The owner indicated that rebuilding could be costly, estimating a new sunbed might cost around £20,000, and as many as 25 firefighters attended the scene to manage the fire.
