Storm Eunice red weather warning

London Fire Brigade has declared a major incident in response to the volume of 999 calls being taken about Storm Eunice-related incidents.

London’s firefighters and Control Officers are having an exceptionally busy day as the storm causes chaos across London, the South East and the South West of the county with winds of up to 100mph recorded in some areas.

Firefighters are still meeting the needs of our communities, but declaring a major incident allows us to focus our resources.

Control staff have introduced batch mobilisation to certain incidents, which means calls where there is a risk to life are prioritised and crews then attend other calls as non-emergencies when they can. It’s introduced so all the Brigade’s resources aren’t tied up dealing with a spate of non-emergency calls in one area.

The Brigade’s Control Room took 550 calls between 1030 and 1300 – which is more than the average number usually taken in a 24-hour period.
