Orpington erupted in flames as eight fire engines and 60 firefighters battled a grass fire fueled by a brutal heatwave—scorching half an acre of cornfield and destroying two vehicles, all stopped short by clever firebreaks. Assistant Commissioner Pam Oparaocha warns the public: wildfires move fast, demand massive resources, and threaten homes, wildlife, and health. She’s zeroing in on disposable BBQs (still hot hours later), cigarettes, and trash—don’t leave them behind. At home? Keep grills clear of flammable structures, trim vegetation, clear dry debris, and build your own firebreak. Prevention is your best defense.
