I live in Suffolk and had to go out today for 20 minutes...it was unbearable. To see those firefighters in full kit, in this heat, next to fires trying to put them out....all I can say is respect.
Where are the trucks, hoses, firemen, water dropping helicopters? I don’t see anything!
I just got home from Tesco's , walked out the shop and almost fainted by the time I got to the car ! Thank god for air-con in cars !
@Dank Waifu I looked closely. There are still active fires and no one pouring water on them. They had better be more careful before it spreads to London-that happened once before I believe.
@@QueenBee-gx4rp We don't have water dropping helicopters in the UK unfortunately, wildfires hardly ever happen over here

Hearts go out to all those affected, especially to the people who have lost everything.
i am within a mile from one of these fires good for the fire brigrade there is not alot of traffic today

This is arson. Whole country would go up if this was natural. Feeding the global warming hoax.
How wonderful that your heart goes out to those affected while your environmental life remains free of introspection.
Tragic
😢 My heart is breaking for the people affected. It can be very difficult for many to start over. Praying for the safety of the firefighters. ❤️ From 🇺🇲

I know, how do all these countries cope for several months in this heat and not have fires after two days like us lol 😭
1000% I AGREE!! FIRES BY DESIGN....ALL PLANNED FOR THE GREAT RESET...
@Hank Marving there’s always got to be some form of drama to keep us scared
Even if someone started all these fires across the uk, just on the day where its been somewhat the hottest ever for the uk, dry weather still allows for fire to spread more. Even if someone started this fire even by just dropping a cig or a bottle, the dry surrounding from the heated environment acts as fields and fields of kindling with no damp ground or plants to help keep the flame down. I learnt this in MF fireman sam, cmon.
imagine being a firemen in this heatwave, wearing that helmet, suit and carrying all that equipment

Or a strong independent Firewo... ummm

The fire brigade is trained to fight fires in hot conditions funnily enough, so they should be good.
Well done firefighters and good luck and take care!
Good on the firefighters for doing an awesome job in this heat
GB news said we should all enjoy this weather and be happy
Don't blame GB news for the idiotic public.
Blame the moron that started the fire maybe?
@@suttercane6 GB news and all the oligarch owned newspapers feed lies to the public, it's not just a case of the public being stupid

Currently here in New Brunswick Canada we have a heatwave on the go as well, although no fires thank God. Temps have been 30-35 the past few days and by Thursday will go over the 40 degree mark with no end in sight. *People that deny our climate worldwide is changing need to get educated*
Climate have been changing since the beginning of time. Earth wobble. Still it is sad to see people's houses and everything inside being destroyed.
They are called Cons, Cons deny the existence of climate change,
What No one talks about is the geographic fact the Earth is at the very tail end of the last Ice Age. Climate Change..sure..The planet's ever changing atmospheric conditions. We may be heading into an accelerating planet heating up from S
It truly is not normal for the British People having to cope with such Heat . I hope my 2 Sons living in the UK are ok one of them , already having suffered a Heatstroke .My wellwishes to all those effected .May these Fires be under Control soon and claim no more Victims .
@Michael Pohl 1911, 1976, 1990. Not normal, but natural.
I've noticed that the weather gets hot at this time of year quite often . Every few years it gets very hot . Once in a while it gets extremely hot . Sometimes it's for more than a couple of days at a time .
'76 was WAY WORSE than this and the Battle of Britain was fought in one of the hottest summers on record.
This is normal in Portugal, Spain, Southern France, Italy and Greece...
This is madness
imagine with the weather right now all those people left homeless sending prayers ur side from Kenya
What about the many still living in death-clad towers? I am sobbing. I offer all my love to everyone worldweide, especially those scared, lonely, homeless, hopeless. I wish we could all hug and dance together. One day we will xx
So shocking!!! Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿❤️💙💯
I have lived in Western America for over 20 years now, having emigrated from the UK, and we have seen many many fires. We have them raging at the moment. However, I am heartbroken that the UK is suffering in the same way. It is devastating to have homes and property burnt down, and nothing can be done. My prayers go out to all that are affected, and hope that the fires can be brought under control shortly.😥❤🙏
Nothing new for us in the West US, but this has to be awful for a country that doesn't normally experience wild fire. Terrifying for them. For anyone.
Why praying yet majority not believes.
@@suleimanmosooud9405 prayer doesn't depend on what others believe.
Oh my God, my prayers goes to all those affected, stay strong and be protected, ❤️🇿🇦
I’m not seeing any helicopters trying to put out the fire and there seems to be very few firefighters and vans available. My prayers are with the people who lost their homes. This shouldn’t happen to anyone.
It would be a waste to use a helicopter for this given the relatively low risk to life, but helicopters arent great anti-fire appliances at the best of times - worse in these conditions of course - and as far as I can tell LFB doesn't even own any!
Britan dosent have such helicopters in decent numbers and this isnt the only fire
Mostly used to aid the fireys on the ground in asset protection.
They don't use helicopters to extinguish the fires.
@@TheKingElfstone Water carrying planes would be ideal for preventing spread of grassfires and help distinguishing fires and being so close to the Thames estuary would be ideal for quick water supply
Problem is as far as I know Fire brigade don't have any.
@@mrdemocracy7106 planes release one load of water then spend an hour or more reloading for another pass. Continuous streams of water are far more efficient especially when ensuring no embers remain that could reignite the whole place in five minutes.
Prayers for all who have been affected and those fighting these fires and for relief from the heat. Prayer for all those around the world who need relief.

There's quite a few in the comment section already making themselves look foolish. Apparently heatwaves can't cause wildfires now 🤷♂️

Sending prayers from the US. That is devastating.
I'm atheist but thanks for your concern, not being ironic
They obviously don’t work.

Lot of London area old buildings have very shoddy and under serviced electrical cabling.
Seems pretty sketchy at best.
I'll bet there's way more to this story to come.
Obvious BS, 100 deg heat doesn't start fires. Ask people who actually live with this type of heat every year.
Best wishes to everyone involved.

This is the new norm and it's about to get a whole lot worse worldwide...
There’s a farmer plowing a firebreak across his crops. I hope parts of London don’t end up like that suburb of Denver did after their firestorm. 😱😱😱
There's random properties on the other side of the street from the source. How on earth did this fire spread to these random properties and how was it allowed to get so out of control so quickly?
Very suspect.
Yeah totally! 104 degrees will NOT do this
Eco warrior arsonists. None of this anywhere else !!! funny that innit ?
Everything is a conspiracy.
ow I suspect alright
i cant believe that anyone can see this as anything other than arson. insane activists at work here.
A heatwave does not causes these types of fires. This is arson plain and simple.
Any proof?
Agree
Of course! No doubt its a conspiracy to set fires during a heat wave to give credence to global warming!
Meanwhile crisis actors in the US continue to stage fake mass shootings so the feds can take their guns!
@@jeckjeck3119 Things don't spontaneous combust at 40C lol. Gasoline needs 260C to combust. Stop falling for the narrative that things start blowing up because of global warming....

@Charles White it's common knowledge and highly likely.
@@xhogun8578 I imagine Charles is only concerned about evidence that goes one way
Glass jars sitting near windows can cause house fires even in winter, nutella jars are particularly bad.
It's amazing what the government will do to cause panic
Exactly. Its perfectly normal to be 40 degrees and have big fires in the UK. Its all just overblown rubbish. It will be the same next year when it happens as well.
The leading question is though what started the fires ? Just because its hot does not a fire make ? Someone has to give the media something to print ? All those buildings on fire oh do pull the other leg it has bells on ! Insurance springs to mind!!!
Grass will never light itself people light it, or a broken bottle magnified
All these fires are lit on purpose and not by heat wave

And Europe usually cooler weather so don't need air conditioning. But the climate has reversed itself and now a heat wave. The sun has been going through a lot of changes & universe as well. So is throwing out weather off. The people who deal with this has been monitoring the sun moon & other planets & is causing changes to our climate.

The heatwave hasn't caused this ,it's been wreckless incidents or suspicions of arson
No, but as they said, the heatwave has dried out the grasslands causing perfect conditions for a wildfire to grow out of control.
So not the cause but the heatwave most definitely has contributed

One good fire safety tip when its that hot, don't park on grass. Your car exhaust can set it a blaze!
Another good one is don't drop cigarette ends, litter louts.
If this isn’t a sign for things to come I don’t know what is. It’s unheard of to see fires of this magnitude in Europe.
God has been speaking to us for awhile now. We have not been listening. So for this reason we cant call God to help now. But yet God is a MERCIFUL GOD & so yea, I pray to God to help all the people affected by this heatwave that has caused all this fires.
Hmmm. Arson probably. The fires look too far apart to of spread to each other. But close enough to of been set.
Especially that car!
I dont mean to offend anyone or so but India constantly faces 40 degrees and above all throughout the summer, yet we never had fires on a large scale. We had one up north last year and that was the largest so far but yet too small compared to the fires in europe. And I'm not talking about fires caused by an explosion in the gas pipeline, but fires like the case above. Some thing tells me this is either deliberate or sure shot negligence. Someone threw a cigarette over a dried up field. and that swelled in no time.
India has about 30,000 forest fires a year, and that is 10 times more than 20 years ago. So I question your statement about India never having fires on a large scale.
what is happening? not like your houses burst in flames just because its 40c for a day?
arson
It must be low humidity with wind contributing to it.. I live where it gets 40c a lot of days in summer and we seldom have fires. It’s only when the humidity is low, 25-20% and lower, and it’s windy that fire becomes a concern for us.

Exactly either that or antifa or the climate lunatics trying to back their cause
Err....I did. But it doesn't matter how well educated anyone is, we all know something that someone else doesn't, that's how we learn and has been so, forever and a day. It's by people just being helpful and generous in spirit to pass on their knowledge......just in case someone doesn't know.
