Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters tackled a grass fire near Arnold Road in Northolt.
Around three hectares of grass, trees and shrubland were alight.
One of the Brigade's Wildfire Response Vehicles was sent to the scene to support firefighting operations. The vehicle provides off-road capability enabling the transportation of additional equipment closer to fires on open ground. Each vehicle carries approximately 475 litres of water, a backpack blower, ear defenders, beaters and misting lance technology, which allows firefighters to pump water and drive, enabling them to tackle grass fires more quickly and safely. The Brigade is currently trialling four wildfire response vehicles across the capital.
Control Officers took the first of eight calls at 1335 and mobilised crews from Northolt, Ruislip, Hayes and surrounding fire stations to the scene. The fire was under control by 1600.
