Thirteen people have died and 69 seriously injured in
fires that broke out in makeshift homes across the capital, London Fire Brigade
(LFB) has said. Since 2009, there have been 438 fires in sheds and
outbuildings, where people were living in "unsafe" conditions. Five
people died in 2010-11 and four lives were lost in both 2012 and 2013. LFB said
it has taken action against landlords in the capital, serving about 200
enforcement notices. There were 96 fires in 2009-10, which dropped to 85 the
following year but jumped to 104 in 2011-12. In 2012-13, 77 fires were tackled
by the brigade while the figure rose to 97 last year. Read more on the BBC website.
