In Wennington, local residents could be seen being comforted, while others were seen removing gas canisters from a nearby pub, as hundreds of firefighters were at the scene.
He said that Tuesday evening would be "critical" in ensuring the fires are kept under control, adding: "It would be premature to say we are out the other end of this incident".His new book, England On Fire, is a genuine feast for the eyes and the imagination. Here Stephen has selected hundreds of incredible images that take the reader on a journey through England’s psychic landscape, featuring a diverse collection of artists from William Blake and Samuel Palmer, to many previously lesser known contemporary painters, sculptors and photographers. Alongside these images sits perfect poetic prose from author and bassist of indie band Suede, Mat Osman, whose words help us explore this unique look at Albion from the supernatural to standing stones and water to wilderness. A firefighter at the scene, asked what conditions were like, replied: “absolute hell”, while those affected by the blaze said it had been spreading “fast”. Others have been evacuated from their homes as blazes rage in Dagenham, east London on Tuesday afternoon. Lizzie Pittman, from Aveley in Essex, who works at some stables by the roundabout, said she was looking after five horses that were evacuated. SE: Oh yes. Things like nursery rhymes and fairy tales are really scary, so dark. They are in every culture, but here it just permeates everything. Take scarecrows, again other countries have them, but British scarecrows, they are terrifying!
London Fire Brigade earlier declared a major incident with blazes in at least 10 locations; a fire on a farm in Nottingham has also been declared a major incident and there have been blazes in Leeds, Norfolk and other parts of the country.
Two people were also taken to hospital suffering smoke inhalation following a fire in Dagenham, with the full number of casualties unknown. The London Ambulance Service said the total number of people taken to hospital may not be known until Wednesday morning. We sat down with Stephen to talk about the idea behind England On Fire, what his research process looks like, the esoteric meaning behind the images and why this little old island is so drenched in folklore. The sooner we know about a fire, the sooner we can bring it under control and prevent it from spreading further, reducing the need for us to mobilise additional resources. They were first alerted to the woodland fire at 12.07pm, while another four fire engines are also fighting a second fire in Shirley Hills slightly further south near Chapel View, MyLondon reports.
