Major Fire reported in London area

Woah this is being reported in the eastern part of London and it's being called one of the UK's largest fires.

I know I tend to see wildfires as something more associated with my area like California. But so far this disaster is in mid fight for now.

Five-day forecast for London tops out at 79ºF this week according to the UK Met Office, thankfully, but I've posted before that London gets on average less annual rainfall than Dallas.
