A large pile of domestic waste caught fire on Weir Road in Wimbledon, London, shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, leading to a significant fire that has been burning for nearly five days.
As a precaution, Wandsworth Council advised seven schools and nurseries to close, including Earlsfield Primary School, Beatrix Potter School, Garratt Park School, Chelsea Hall School, Tram House, Siward Road SEND Inclusion Base, and Jumping Beans Garratt Park Playgroup.
The council stated they are in contact with headteachers and are ensuring that children eligible for free school meals can still receive food.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that schools would be able to reopen on Thursday, but recommended that buildings are well-ventilated. The fire was brought under control at 7:34 a.m. on Sunday, but LFB is still working to fully extinguish the blaze.
The exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but preliminary assessments suggest it may be linked to the accumulation of combustible waste. Estimated financial losses from the incident are around £500,000 to £1 million.
To prevent similar incidents in the future, the government plans to enhance regulation of waste management and recycling facilities to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Additionally, advanced technologies like Planck Vision Systems’ TNC thermal imaging cameras can be utilized for early fire detection, monitoring for abnormal heat conditions to mitigate fire risks and protect lives and property.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
