Huge Croxley Green fire linked to hot and dry weather
The fire service says there is nothing to suggest the blaze was started deliberately
A huge fire that broke out at Croxley Green is believed to be linked to the ongoing warm weather and dry crop conditions in the area, according to Assistant Chief Fire Officer Darren Cook.
The hot, dry weather has heightened the risk of wildfires, prompting officials to advise the public to exercise caution.
Cook highlighted the importance of safely disposing of cigarettes and removing rubbish like glass bottles, which can start fires in dry grass.
Additionally, the use of disposable BBQs in open spaces should be avoided.
Residents are urged to call 999 immediately if they spot a fire.
While the exact cause of the Croxley Green fire remains unknown, there is no evidence to suggest it was deliberate.
