A man was rescued from a first-floor flat after a fire broke out, believed to be caused by incense sticks placed too close to flammable materials.

Firefighters have been at the scene of a lorry fire on the A406 North Circular in Park Royal. A lorry trailer containing scrap metal was alight.

"The fire involved a transformer comprising of 25,000 litres of cooling oil fully alight. This created a major hazard due to the still live high-voltage equipment..."

"It's a country accustomed to having lots of rain and cyclone seasons, but Cyclone Freddy was the longest-lasting tropical storm on record lasting for 36 days."

"In dog years, Sherlock is 100 years old, so it's only fitting for him to hang up his boots now and take a well-earned break. He'll enjoy a relaxed retirement filled with naps on the sofa, his favourite walks and plenty of belly rubs."

The London Fire Brigade was called at 11.30am today (February 27) with reports of an e-bike alight on a platform at Rayners Lane Underground station.

The London Fire Brigade has made 'significant improvements' in performance since 2022, as highlighted by fire inspectorate findings that recognize advancing operational capabilities.
