London fire brigade (LFB) is one of the worst in the country, according to inspectors who found that two and a half years after the Grenfell Tower disaster, incident commanders remain inadequately trained, the service is wasting resources and it is failing to learn from its mistakes.
In a scathing report, Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services said the UK’s biggest fire brigade was “inadequate at getting the right people with the right skills” and had been sending commanders to fight blazes who had not been trained for five years, while some engine drivers had not been trained for 20 years.
