Firefighters and 999 call handlers praised for their hard work at Tottenham blaze on Friday night. 20 fire engines and 120 firefighters attended the intense fire which destroyed two warehouses but crews were able to save two neighbouring buildings. We appreciate all the kind words we've received and will make sure we forward them on to those who worked to get the fire under control quickly and without injuries.

We've got an important Bonfire Night message for you from our fire dog.
Sherlock says make sure you celebrate safely by going to an organised display, but if you are having your own event, please think of animals and your neighbours and follow the Firework Safety Code.
Happy Retirement to Watch Manager Kieran Kilmartin who completed his final shift as team leader of Islington White Watch Command Unit last week, after 32 years in the Brigade.
He first joined in October 1983 and served at Hendon, Tottenham, Southgate and Islington fire stations.
Station Manager Winston Douglas said: “We wish Kieran a happy retirement. Hopefully Kieran will be taking time out to improve his Golf and spending some quality time with partner Anita and two children Chloe and Harry.”

It was a busy weekend for our firefighters who carried out multiple rescues while tackling a flat fire in North Kensington on Saturday.
Crews rescued 50 people from the block, including two people who were brought to safety from two balconies via a ladder.
Around 60 firefighters tackled the blaze and our 999 control officers gave fire survival guidance to trapped occupants while they waited for firefighters to arrive. Sixteen people were taken to hospital as a precaution.

Halloween is barely over, but if you're already looking forward to Bonfire Night we have the perfect thing for you.
It’s much safer to attend an organised firework display than to have your own, so we have designed a map listing free and ticketed events taking place across the capital until November 9.
Share this post with anyone you know that may be tempted to have their own display: http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/firework-displays-in-london-2…
