LFB Fire Appliances Letter

On 18 July, the London Assembly’s Fire, Resilience and Emergency Planning Committee met with the London Fire Brigade and Thames Water to discuss how the Brigade is adapting to and mitigating for climate change.

The Committee was concerned by what it heard about the availability of fire appliances if there were to be a repeat of a period of extreme heat such as the one experienced last summer.

As a result, the Committee has written to the London Fire Brigade on the availability of fire appliances and fireboats.
