I vigili del fuoco affermano che dietro l’aumento delle chiamate c’è il “cambiamento climatico”.

Firefighters were summoned to an additional thousand emergencies during the first six months of the year – primarily because of the scorching, arid summer conditions.

This surge was predominantly fuelled by a 68.1 per cent jump in secondary fires, encompassing most grassland blazes that don’t necessitate a substantial emergency response.

Chief fire officer Rob Barber maintains that the growing frequency of wildfires witnessed across Staffordshire demonstrates that ‘climate change is real’, with sweltering, parched summers now becoming progressively routine.

Throughout the six-month stretch, SFRS tackled 1,794 secondary fires, typically smaller outdoor blazes not endangering individuals or buildings – rising from 1,067 the previous year. Primary fire incidents climbed by a more modest margin, escalating from 673 to 728.

no shit, and the russians will be encouraging all sorts to go out next summer, all over europe, and start fires in forests.

good luck!
