LONDON’S BURNING!

According to data released via Freedom of Information requests, there have been nearly 300 blazes at UK fire stations over the past 5 years, caused by appliances such as dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, toasters and microwaves busting into flames. In Worcester for example, nine firefighters tackled a blaze at a fire station caused by carelessly disposed of cigarette! This might explain away any delayed response to attending 999 calls made by members of the public. “Sorry, we can’t come to your fire…we’ve got one of our own!”
