A grass fire erupted in Dagenham, East London, threatening homes but was contained due to maintenance workers who crafted fire breaks. Over 120 firefighters responded to the blaze, which covered around eight hectares. The council leader acknowledged the proactive efforts of the workers, label them as 'unsung heroes'. These fire breaks, implemented over several months, were recognized by London Fire Brigade for effectively controlling the spread of the fire. Had it not been for these measures, residents might have faced significant property losses.
The council leader said the team's actions were not 'by chance' but planned out months in advance and carried out regularly. 'They're effective.'
Dominic Twomey praised maintenance workers as 'unsung heroes' for their efforts, stating that fire breaks prevented potential loss of homes from the grass fire.
