London summers: Wildfires and scorched earth The capital's parks and open spaces remain tinder dry and the wildfire threat is still very real.

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.

Peckham Fire Station - carried out a CPR training day for the local community.
London Ambulance Service and LFB Firefighters provided life-saving skills to members of the public.

LFB #firefighters carrying out water safety training.

We want people to enjoy our waterways safely.
Strong currents, underwater hazards, and cold water shock can be deadly.
Know the risks & familiarise yourself with lifesaving equipment.

We’re seeing around 12 water-related incidents a week on average. That’s nearly two every day

Temperatures are expected to remain high over the weekend. Enjoy #London's waterways safely & don't be tempted to jump in to open water #DrowningPreventionWeek london-fire.gov.uk/news/2025-ne...

Southwark firefighters and Fire Safety Officers, with the support of Fire Cadets, Met Police, and Southwark Young Advisors, spent the day at Borough Market engaging with the local community and businesses on key fire safety risks.

Southwark Borough led a multi-agency river exercise on the Thames, showcasing firefighter training and coordination. Crews from Dockhead, Old Kent Road, and Peckham took part, supported by City Cruises and the Met Police Marine Unit.

@bsky.app @lb-southwark.bsky.social @londonfire.bsky.social

Today we are taking part in a training exercise at Cherry Garden Pier on the Thames in #Rotherhithe.
If you see fire engines and our river boat, don’t be alarmed. It is not a real incident.
Exercises like these ensure we're ready to respond to any emergency across London.

Three people jumping into the water. Text on image reads: jumping into water can lead to cold water shock.

We've seen a concerning rise in water-related incidents this year

Even when the sun's shining, the water can be dangerously cold

Think twice before jumping in. Hidden currents, cold water shock & underwater hazards can take you by surprise #BeWaterAware london-fire.gov.uk/news/2025-ne...

This week, I had the privilege of attending the pass-out parade of one of our new trainee #firefighters who will be joining Peckham Fire Station. Welcome to Southwark Borough, Alex Slater. 🚒

Southwark crews have been part of the training taking place at Colchester FC to test how we’d respond to a marauding terrorist attack (MTA).

We worked with @londonambulance.nhs.uk and the Metropolitan Police to simulate a high-threat, mass casualty incident.
