Wildfire training exercise takes place on Wanstead Flats

The London Fire Brigade led a multi-agency training exercise on Wanstead Flats last month.

It comes as visitors to London’s open spaces are urged to help reduce the risk of wildfires this summer.

“Preparedness and prevention is essential in helping to reduce the risk to our communities and prevent grass fires. That means not having barbecues in open spaces, throwing rubbish away safely and not leaving broken bottles or glass on the ground and disposing of cigarettes properly,” said a spokesperson.
