There have been 64 wildfires in London this summer, a huge jump from 2020. And London’s parks and open spaces remain tinder dry. City Hall is investing in the London Fire Brigade to tackle this growing challenge, but everyone can play their part.

Do you know how to call #999 in an emergency?? ☎️ 🚒 1️⃣ Ask for Fire and Rescue. 2️⃣ Give the operator your postcode. 3️⃣ Describe the situation, such as whether something is alight or there is smoke in the area 🚒 #firefighters #control #Bluesky #London #EmergencyServices
