Three grass fires have been tackled by London Fire Brigade (LFB) crews in 24 hours as the capital records the UK’s highest temperature of the day at 33.3C (91F).

About 70 firefighters in 10 fire engines tackled a fire at the Wanstead Flats parkland in north-east London on Tuesday.

A grass fire had been put out in the same area the previous evening.

A further 60 firefighters also put out a grass fire of about three hectares (7.4 acres) in Northolt, west London, on Tuesday afternoon.
