London Fire Brigade said it was first alerted to the blaze around 2pm and had received more than 40 calls over it. London Fire Brigade said it was attending a number of grass fires - including in Croydon and Hendon - on Tuesday afternoon, as well as a restaurant fire and another involving a garden fence and trees elsewhere in the capital. “The number of serious incidents has prompted the Brigade to ask people to only call 999 if there is an emergency or if there’s an immediate risk to life and not to have barbecues or bonfires,” the fire service said on Tuesday.
