A grass fire near Heathrow’s train tracks triggered chaos across London’s rail network, grounding all services between Paddington, Heathrow, and Reading for the rest of Saturday — a day already disrupted by a separate runway fire at the airport. With six fire engines and 40 firefighters deployed, travelers faced hours-long delays and stranded crowds, while Heathrow urged extra travel time. This isn’t an isolated incident — just weeks ago, another grass fire near the southern runway caused flight diversions. Despite cooler weather, fire authorities warn southeast England remains under “exceptional” wildfire risk, putting pressure on infrastructure and commuters alike.
