Launders Lane fires

The Arnolds Field rubbish dump in Launders Lane in Rainham, London has been the location of a large number of fires since around 2013,[1] exposing local residents to toxic fumes.[2]

The site was a gravel pit in the 1960s, and subsequently used for landfill from 1967 to 1971.[3] Planning permission was granted in 2000 to convert the area to community woodland. Since that time, a large amount of waste has been deposited without authorisation.[3] The London Fire Brigade have said that the site periodically reignites due to the build-up of rubbish on the site,[4] which had been dumped "in excess of five metres" above council-approved levels.[5] Between 2018 and 2022 the Fire Brigade had been called out to the site more than 70 times.[5]

Efforts have been by Havering Council to deal with the problem, with the assistance of the London Fire Brigade and Environment Agency.[6] Attempts to remedy the problem have been complicated by multiple issues, including decades of illegal dumping of unknown materials and previous use of the site as a cannabis farm and weapons store.[5]

A 2012 site study found elevated levels of lead and benzo(a)pyrene in the soil.[3] In 2023, Imperial College's Environmental Research Group was collecting data regarding the pollution caused by the fires.[7][8]
