Flooding has also increasingly affected the capital, with the Greater London Authority (GLA) branding flash flooding as the main environmental risk to residents.
City Hall analysis found that floods could affect almost half of London’s hospitals and a fifth of schools.
Assistant Commissioner for LFB’s operational resilience and control, Pat Goulbourne, said: “We know that climate change is having an impact on London’s weather, including increasing the risk of wildfires and flash flooding.”
He called for landowners to take preventative steps such as the creation of fire breaks.
He added: “It is also important that there is continued investment to ensure we have the necessary tools available to address the challenges that lie ahead.”
The Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, is attending the C40 World Mayors Summit this week, an event showcasing how cities are tackling the climate crisis – held ahead of Cop30 being staged by Brazil in the Amazonian city of Belem.
