Enjoyed a few too many snowballs? Don’t cook drunk! Put your leftover Christmas dinner to good use instead and have a sandwich! There have been more than 300 accidental alcohol related fires across the capital this year.

A seven-year-old girl has given Tottenham firefighters a Christmas hamper after saving her pocket money.
Kyra and her mum visited the fire station for the second year running to deliver the amazing present. She came up with the idea all on her own and funds the contents of the hamper using her pocket money.

Caroline Neale Many many moons ago, my sisters and I sang in this Christmas carol concert for Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. I remember her dress vividly and that we were all treated to a McDonalds happy meal afterwards!! My dad started working for the London Fire Brigade over 40 years ago and he still does!!

Firefighters at ‪#‎Sidcup‬ Fire Station will be cooking Christmas dinner for elderly residents who are on their own on Xmas Day. This time of year it's important to look after one another and a quick and easy way is to test yours and elderly neighbours smoke alarms.
