Episode Details

England and Wales are facing a wildfire crisis as over 200 fires have erupted in just two weeks, with fire chiefs sounding the alarm ahead of a scorching heatwave that could hit 35°C. Dry ground and rising temperatures are creating dangerous conditions, especially in London, the East Midlands, and the South East under an amber heat alert. With 706 wildfires already this year — 208 in just one week — experts warn climate change is making fires more frequent and severe, even if they’re smaller than in southern Europe. Prevention is key: dispose of cigarettes properly, avoid open barbecues, and take litter home. July is already 3°C hotter than average — potentially a record-breaking month. If you spot a fire, call 999 immediately.
