Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters attended a grass fire in an open space on Mollison Avenue in Enfield.
Around one hectare of grassland was alight, along with a half hectare of separate grassland.
Due to the remote location of the fire, firefighters also implemented a water relay system. Standard appliances were stationed between the incident site and the nearest water hydrant, and then connected together by hose. This allowed crews to pump a constant supply of water to the scene of the fire.
Firefighters deployed a wildfire response vehicle from Enfield Fire Station to help extinguish the fire. The wildfire response vehicle is one of four being trialled by the Brigade this summer to help respond to grass fires and wildfires. The vehicles are light, agile and its off-road capabilities mean it can reach places that our standard fire engines cannot. The vehicle is equipped with misting lance technology, which significantly enhances the way in which firefighters extinguish these fires.
The Brigade was called at 1207 and Control Officers mobilised crews from Crews from Enfield, Chingford, Edmonton, Woodford and Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service attended the scene. The fire was brought under control by 1338.
The cause of the fire is undetermined.
