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.

A video shared on Facebook shows a police officer attempting to extinguish a grass fire in Erith by stamping on it, as smoke rises into the air.

The London Fire Brigade reported that approximately ten hectares of grass and shrubland are currently alight, with crews working diligently to control the blaze.

The London Fire Brigade responded with 12 fire engines and around 80 firefighters to a blaze on Imperial Way in Croydon shortly after 6:30am.

A van on fire near King's Cross Station caused significant smoke, leading to road closures and bus diversions, but did not disrupt rail services.

The fire broke out in a mid-terraced property of two floors in Nithdale Road just before 1.50am today (April 14). Crews rescued a woman from the property, however, she was pronounced dead shortly after.
