Twenty firefighters were called to deal with a leaf fire in Crystal Palace Park this morning.
The location of the incident and the fear it could spread to the surrounding park led to four crews being sent to the scene at around 1.30am.
But it was dealt with by one crew which put out the flames using a fire extinguisher.
The fire is believed to have been started deliberately.
