Wildfires have scorched more than 40,000 hectares of land so far this year across the UK – an area more than twice the size of the Scottish city of Glasgow.
This is already a record amount of land burned in a single year, far exceeding the previous high, Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) data shows.
It is also almost four times the average area burned in wildfires by this stage of the year over 2012-24 – and 50% higher than the previous record amount burned by this time in 2019.
The burned area overtook the previous annual record in April, BBC News reported at the time, and has continued to soar in the months since.
We have absolutely no wildfire resilience in this country. I really doubt fire services are prepared.
I go wild camping in the peaks often and wildfire operations group is pretty good but we lack the capacity to roll this out nationally at scale. Legislation and regulations don’t allow for wildfire management planning, and the funding cuts are going to hit hard.
The risk from wildfires will continue to get worse each year.
Also, fellow campers please don’t light fires, the risk is too immense right now.
Bloody hell that’s a big area. It’ll grow back bigger and better. We need more Glasgow’s.
Are they going to copy glasgow and turn all the burnt out land into student accommodation?
