As the incidence of mega fires intensifies across the Iberian Peninsula, from Spain for Wildfire magazine, Lily Mayers argues that a lack of land management is making the Iberian Peninsula ripe for larger fires. https://t.co/vNga7NkLKL

The risk our communities face across Scotland is changing and we know that some of our stations are not in the best place to meet that.

We must ensure that our resources are located in right place at the right time.

https://t.co/iGY09TV2zH Thank you to everyone who visited our pop up session at @EastgateNess shopping over the weekend. For those who could not make it, there is still time to complete the survey @SFRSYourSafety @HighlandCouncil

I was delighted to receive @helpsmokeypaws O2 therapy kits kindly donated by @FosteringCompa1 for fire stations in Skye & Wester Ross. These enable us to give animals oxygen at incidents, enabling them to have the best chance of survival! Thank you so much for your kind donation!

Just a reminder for everyone to take care when conditions are like this. It only takes one neglected barbecue, one welding spark, one stray cigarette to cause a wildfire.

Crews spent an afternoon making the most of the sunshine carrying out water relay drills, building improvised ground monitors, pumping operations and branch techniques followed by Ladder, Pump and Combined drills.

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service @fire_scot]

As a service we have identified potential areas we could change to use our resources differently. 🚒

We're running an online survey to capture views of people across Scotland which will help to develop options for future public consultation.

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – Your Safety @SFRSYourSafety]

Last year many homes were evacuated within the community of Daviot, near Inverness, as wildfire threatened property and lives. If you live or work in an area at risk of wildfires, an escape plan is a must.
