New data has revealed that Hounslow is amongst the top three London Boroughs that experience the most outdoor fires.
289 fires occurred in Hounslow across the summer months between 2020 and 2023.
It’s part of research being done by the London Assembly Fire Committee to tackle the increasing threat of summer fires.
Fire Committee Chair, Hina Bokhari, said ‘increased temperatures caused by climate change’ play a role in the rise of incidents.
