Luke 10:2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

HUGE FIRES have erupted across the UK, including in the capital, with the London Fire Brigade (LFB) saying it is fighting several blazes in the city.

The LFB this afternoon declared a “major incident” in response to a surge in blazes across the capital. In Wennington, a massive grass fire broke out with footage showing fields and buildings engulfed in black smoke on the hottest day ever recorded in the UK. Some 15 fire crews and 100 firefighters are currently battling the blaze at the scene in the Essex village, emergency services said. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the LFB is “under immense pressure” as he urged people to be safe, adding the situation is “critical”.

In a separate tweet, Mr Khan outlined how to prevent fires, including avoiding barbecuing on grass or balconies, leaving broken bottles or glass on grass, disposing of cigarettes safely and reporting fires as soon as they are seen.

At least one home is known to have been completely destroyed in Wennington.

Nearby fields were seen to be completely scorched and burning intensely. It is not known if anybody was hurt.

An LFB spokesperson said: “Common causes of grass fires include carelessly discarded cigarettes or matches, as well as rubbish left lying around such as glass bottles, which can start flames by magnifying the sun’s rays.

“Every one of us can help reduce the risk of fire and keep our communities clean, make sure rubbish is safely thrown away and cigarettes are always properly disposed of.”

The service also issued a list of at least 10 major fires it is attending at the moment.

There are:

– 30 fire engines dealing with a grass fire on Pea Lane in Upminster
– 14 fire engines tackling a fire on The Green in Wennington
– 12 fire engines tackling a fire involving garden fencing and trees on Uxbridge Road in Pinner
– 10 fire engines tackling a restaurant fire on Green Lanes in Southgate
– Eight fire engines tackling a grass fire on Oaks Road in Croydon
– Eight fire engines tackling a grass fire on Ballards Road in Dagenham
– Eight fire engines tackling a fire on the Broadway in Wembley
– Six fire engines tackling a grass fire on Sunningfields Crescent in Hendon
– Four fire engines tackling a grass fire on Chapel View in Croydon
– Four fire engines tackling a fire on Sidcup Road in Eltham

Express.co.uk political editor David Maddox, who lives in East London, said: “It’s like a scene out of the apocalypse.

“There are enormous plumes of thick black smoke rising into the air and unbearable heat.

“My street and the streets around have all been closed off to cars.

“Many houses close to the fire have been evacuated.

“But weirdly there is a sense of calm as we wait to see what happens.

“Some of my neighbours have their sprinklers out to cool down but most have either left or are on their way out.

“The fires have engulfed the parkland near to my home in Dagenham.

“Most of it is a nature reserve where the local kids play and we walk our dogs.

“It is completely unapproachable now.

“The fire crews have been out for hours trying to bring the blaze under control.”

In total, fire crews have battled hundreds of wildfires across the country.

One regional service said the number of open fires could have tripled this week, PA reported, while the Met Office warned that most of England was at exceptional risk.

Some people were forced to evacuate their homes, and the National Trust admitted it was on “tenterhooks” over the possibility of a large-scale blaze.

One such blaze erupted near Dartford Crossing, causing panic with flames reaching a housing estate. News of the fire was quick to spread on social media.

One Twitter user, @Pengdeja, said they could see a “massive fire” in the area.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service said in a statement: “Kent Fire and Rescue Service has been called to reports of a grass fire near Durrell Dene, in Joyce Green, Dartford.

“Nine fire engines and a height vehicle have been sent to the scene, where crews are working to extinguish the fire.”

Verge Senior Editor Tom Warren wrote in a post on Twitter: “We rarely see awful scenes like this in the UK due to the weather.

“A grass fire has reached houses near Dartford in Kent, and has already destroyed some nearby buildings.”

This comes as Britain recording its highest temperatures yet.

The record was provisionally broken before midday, with a 39.1 degree Celsius temperature noted in Charlwood, Surrey.

It has since been further topped.

The Met Office reported just before 1pm: “For the first time ever, 40 Celsius has provisionally been exceeded in the UK.

“London Heathrow reported a temperature of 40.2 degree C at 12:50pm today.

“Temperatures are still climbing in many places, so remember to stay weather aware.”

They wrote: “Huge fire near Dartford crossing.”

Footage shared on Sky News showed the fire also reaching a local residential area.

There are currently no reports of any injuries.

 “But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?” —Romans 10:14

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
