Firefighters in Greenwich received an urgent call to a fire in Charlton.

The fire started next to a bench in Hornfair Park by the football goals.

When the fire brigade arrived, all they found was that a banana skin had been set on fire.

LFB Greenwich did not find the ordeal particularly amusing, taking to Twitter to voice their frustration.

In a tweet, LFB Greenwich said: "This is a genuine shout that East Greenwich received. A banana skin alight by a bench.

"Whilst this may be amusing for whoever did this, when the Fire Engine is tied up here, the crew are unable to attend other shouts."
