Firefighters have issued a warning over wildfires in London after two blazes broke out on green spaces in the capital in the past 24 hours.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) urged people to act responsibly during the heatwave as temperatures are expected to exceed 30C on Friday and Saturday. As just under half ofg London is made up of green spaces, which become popular in the heat, the fire service asked Londoners “to do all they can to prevent fires from starting accidentally.”
