London Fire Brigade (LFB) have been seriously busy the last few weeks as soaring temperatures and super dry conditions have led to a series of grass and other rural fires.
There have also been many house and other building fires which has led to a shortage of resources and cover for Fire Services throughout the country.
These wildfires can spread so quickly as the dry combustible materials can ignite and burn so readily, especially if accompanied by a moderate to strong wind flow. The main aim for the fire service is to limit the spread of these fires and to protect any nearby residential properties etc. These wildfires can easily catch firefighters out depending on the location of the fire, whatever is burning and the weather conditions.
Evacuation of nearby properties is often required and the need to protect the egress route away from the incident, should conditions change rapidly.
