That's because we have a far more efficient fire service than we had back then, and not so many timber framed buildings.
On a serious note, if you see what you believe is a fire risk (especially if it could block an escape route), then report it to the fire service. And they will act on it very quickly.

Re: Thousands Without Power After London Fire
I'm more concerned about the high risk of brush fires this year with the drought conditions down here in the south.We are surrounded by MOD heathland here and it will burn very well being tinder dry.

Don't worry, I'm sure the raid will be back in time for summer, as usual.

Excuse me if I can't laugh.The last time we had brush fires locally it was a miserable experience because it came within metres of local homes and those of us a half mile away were choking with the smoke..
