Andrea Corrie is supporting London Fire Brigade’s campaign to raise awareness of water safety this summer in memory of her son James Clark who drowned after a night out

This year alone, we have attended 57 fires in schools in the capital and new figures released by the Brigade show that not a single school had an automatic fire suppression system fitted.

Our new plan, called 'Your London Fire Brigade' explains how we’ll better engage, protect, learn from, and represent London’s communities over the coming years.

Nearly one fire a day in London involves white goods like dishwashers, washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges and freezers. There are some simple things you can do to make yourself safer.

Since the death of Santosh Benjamin Muthiah in a fire caused by a Beko fridge in 2010, we have been calling for more to be done about potentially dangerous white goods.

Our External Complaints Service will be carrying out a historic case review. All bullying, harassment and discrimination cases at London Fire Brigade, completed in the last five years, will be reviewed. 

Do fire brigades work together? Of course. We have agreements in place to support each other in an emergency. Find out more about Cross Border Working.

Children and young people start to play with fire for various reasons, ranging from natural curiosity in toddlers to older children using firesetting to express feelings of anger or emotional distress.

How to get help for a young person. Children play with fire for a variety of reason, but without help and guidance, firesetting behaviour can increase and lead to more serious consequences.

We know people are worried about e-bike and e-scooter fires and the risk they pose to life and property. That’s why we’ve released guidance for those responsible for fire safety in buildings, such as landlords and business owners, on how best to store and charge these vehicles.
