A significant fire broke out in Bromley town centre, with around 80 firefighters from the London Fire Brigade responding to the blaze at a newbuild complex on St Marks Square. The fire, which started on the tenth and eleventh floors, prompted 16 emergency calls, and crews are utilizing specialized equipment, including a 32-metre turntable ladder, to tackle the situation. Meanwhile, in Nottingham, there has been a worrying trend of deliberate fires at the Guildhall site, with emergency services responding to nine such incidents over six weeks, primarily involving young people. Following a successful multi-agency effort to secure the site, only one false alarm has been reported since July 7. Assistant Chief Fire Officer Damien West emphasized the dangers of starting fires, urging parents to educate their children about the risks associated with entering derelict buildings. Both incidents highlight the strain on emergency services and the importance of community awareness in fire safety.
