I have been a Londoner for 60 years, and l am totally mystified that there has not been another great fire of London, with all the crap you see on the London streets and back alleys from shop's.

For many years l delivered to the many shops of London, and the rubbish that you saw piling up in the alleys and fronts is beyond me.

That's because we have a far more efficient fire service than we had back then, and not so many timber framed buildings.

On a serious note, if you see what you believe is a fire risk (especially if it could block an escape route), then report it to the fire service. And they will act on it very quickly.

And yes it probably could happen again. Scrap yard fires are actually quite common, due to the nature of what they do. So unless the electricity company reroute the cables, then there is a good chance that it will happen again.

I'm more concerned about the high risk of brush fires this year with the drought conditions down here in the south.We are surrounded by MOD heathland here and it will burn very well being tinder dry.

Yes, if my name was Basil, I'd be very worried.

Don't worry, I'm sure the raid will be back in time for summer, as usual.

Excuse me if I can't laugh.The last time we had brush fires locally it was a miserable experience because it came within metres of local homes and those of us a half mile away were choking with the smoke..:(
