Firefighters 'pushed to the brink' as UK record for wildfires set to be broken
The Guardian
|August 15, 2025
Firefighters have warned that 2025 is on track to beat the UK record for wildfires, with frontline staff "pushed to their limits".
On Wednesday, a major incident was declared in the North York Moors national park, with 20 fire engines deployed to tackle at least 2 sq miles of moorland that has been burning since Monday.
It follows a similar incident over the weekend tackled by Dorset and Wiltshire fire service and a blaze at Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.
In England and Wales alone, crews have already tackled 856 wildfires this year, the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) said - a third higher than the record-breaking total in 2022 and six times the number recorded last year - warning that hot and dry weather means the figures are likely to increase.
