Fires in the City: Ashes and Aftermath

from Call To Dispatch Hosted by Dave

When the sky over London turned orange, firefighters raced to fight a blaze unlike anything the city had ever seen; the Wennington wildfire of 2022. Just months earlier, another call: a first-floor flat in Hackney. A man trapped inside. Flames tearing through his home before crews could reach him. In this episode of Call To Dispatch, a firefighter with six years in the London Fire Brigade shares what it’s like to stand on the line between chaos and control. From the surreal scale of Wennington to the heartbreak of Hackney.
