The London Fire Brigade responds to an average of six rescues a day, many of which involve people who are embarrassed or reluctant to seek help.

Around 125 firefighters are tackling a grass fire in Dagenham, temporarily forcing residents from their homes. The blaze, covering eight hectares, has prompted evacuations.

"When I realized I locked myself out, I thought about calling a locksmith, but then I remembered the fire station was close by and decided to try my luck there."

Multiple crews, including the Gloucester Harbormaster and the U.S. Coast Guard, responded to a report at around 7 p.m. at the Annisquam Yacht Club.

Attleboro firefighters responded to a single-vehicle crash report at 7:25 p.m. and found the car flipped on its side in the woods next to the highway.

An investigation has been launched into the fire that broke out at an industrial park in Erith, where five cars and a lorry were engulfed.

Firefighters had to dismantle a luggage rack and seats, then saw through the armrest before using hydraulic equipment to free the man, who was stuck for around an hour and half in total.

Sir Keir Starmer described the three deaths as devastating, adding: The bravery of our firefighters is astounding. Hoping those in hospital make a full and swift recovery.
