70 firefighters tackle grass fire in north London
Around seven hectares of shrubland were destroyed.
Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters tackled a grass fire near Mollison Avenue in Enfield.
Around seven hectares of shrubland were destroyed by the fire.
Firefighters on scene deployed a wildfire response vehicle from Enfield Fire Station to help extinguish the fire.
The vehicle is one of four being trialled by the Brigade this summer to help respond to grass fires and wildfires.
The vehicles are light, agile and its off-road capabilities mean it can reach places that standard fire engines cannot.
The vehicle is equipped with misting lance technology, which significantly enhances the way in which firefighters extinguish these fires.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "A wildfire support officer was also in attendance. This is an officer who has undergone enhanced wildfire training and is providing tactical awareness and advice to the Incident Commander.
Control Officers took the first of 10 calls at 1531 and mobilised crews from Enfield, Edmonton, Barnet and surrounding fire stations to the scene. The fire was extinguished by 1807."
