A boxing project launched by Lambeth firefighters is aiming to put gang crime on the ropes by getting young preople off the streets and into the gym. It offers young people a knock out blend of boxing lessons, fitness and firefighter skills and those taking part will have the chance to qualify as a personal trainer. The project hit the headlines this week when ITV news cameras visited the Brixton gym where we run the course.

To mark the 75th Anniversary of the biggest “Blitz” raid on the capital – The Second Great Fire of London - wartime fire engines were mobilised from Dowgate Fire Station to 'save' St Paul's cathedral. In our 150th year it is even more important than ever to remember all those firefighters who have given their life to protect London from fire.

This year is a very special year for us as we mark our 150th anniversary. Celebrations kicked off in style when we took part in London's annual New Year's Day Parade. Staff past and present were joined by our fire cadets as they walked the route alongside fire engines old and new. Throughout this year we will be marking our century and a half of service to the capital with a number of special events which the public can attend.
