Billboard that burst into flames probably caused by the sun reflecting off a shiny surface

A billboard burst into flames on Tuesday.



Dozens of commuters were evacuated from Woolwich Arsenal station in London when the fire began.





The fire is thought to have been sparked by the sun reflecting off a shiny surface onto the poster.





The advertising hoarding was destroyed in the fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, said a spokesperson for London Fire Brigade.

I guess there's so little sun in England that this doesn't happen very often.
