Difficult fire in very difficult terrain @SWFireandRescue crews with support from @AirbourneHeli worked really hard to keep the head fire from entering the @NatResWales forestry. Fire is approx 7 hectares with a fire front on the steep slope of approx 700 metres

[NFRS P.O. @NLandFRS_PO]

Very challenging wildfire conditions across very large parts of the UK - especially Saturday and Sunday. #NoFires #TakeAPicnic #NoBBQs
Please take real care whilst enjoying our beautiful countryside. #DontCauseAWildfire

The more tools in the wildfire toolbox the more chance services will have to succeed. Building robust partnerships can reduce the severity of wildfires

Excavator fire breaks
Helicopter firefighting
Tac burning
400m hose lay
ATV

Fire stopped from getting onto @RCTCouncil Tip by pre prepared breaks

[NFRS P.O. @NLandFRS_PO]

Wishing the @fire_scot firefighters a speedy recovery and very thankful they weren’t seriously injured. Highlights the significant challenges of responding to wildfire incidents in remote locations.

Excellent work by attending crews limited the impact of this incident yesterday, but this highlights the environmental impacts of #Wildfires. For further advice on preventing them, take a look here: https://t.co/tvF6spIIyR

All the hard work 2 protect FF’s & communities is worth it👍🏻🔥🔥

[RhodriJones @Ifindoubtaskrod]

With a much welcomed focus on the risk of illness to firefighters from fire contamination. It's worth remembering the risk still persists long after the fire is out. Especially for investigators, who spend hours digging in the dirt https://t.co/hCgwYQh43F #fbudecon #firefighter
