Briefly

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) warns of extreme fire risks in the capital due to a combination of ongoing high temperatures and very low rainfall, leading to tinder-dry conditions.

With 14 reported wildfires so far, residents are urged to avoid BBQs, discard smoking materials safely, and refrain from burning waste. The risk is increased as many green spaces are near residences.
