The total - 831 - was a 20% increase on the previous year, LFB said, adding it had received 30% more bonfire-related calls. The number of fireworks calls were largely unchanged. Incidents fire crews attended last night included a grass fire in Bromley, a tree alight in Brixton Hill and a box on fire in a Hackney park. The brigade added it was expecting another busy weekend so it had asked Londoners to be sensible and take care with fires and fireworks.
