Another post on the Twitter handle of the London Fire Brigade indicated that, the fire at Woolwich in London and the other at Grassland at Cranford Park in Hayes Had been put out after they had caused damage by the Brave Fire Fighters.
Firefighters have brought two large grass fires during day one of the #heatwave under control. Grassland at Cranford Park in #Hayes & #Woolwich Common we’re damaged by fire. Spare a thought for fire crews working hard in hot temperatures. pic.twitter.com/wVO5hvp80n
