Sharp rise in fire and rescue incidents in West Yorkshire
Yorkshire Evening Post
|November 04, 2025

Meanwhile the number of fires attended by services across England rose by over a quarter, driven by sharp increases in outdoor primary fires and secondary fires.
The Fire Brigades Union warned services across the country "are under more pressure than ever", especially due to increasing numbers of wildfires caused by climate change, and called on the Government for "serious investment".
