British wildfire season 2020

From the beginning of April, wildfires rage across the UK's uploads, burning hardest where there has been either poor management or rewilding. Sensible estates conduct controlled burning earlier in the year. However, there's a group of environmentalists try to muddle controlled burning or 'muirburn' with accidental wildfires. The reason? Nothing to do with fires. They want to ban grouse shooting. Amanda Anderson from the Moorland Association and Andrew Gilruth from the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust explain the background to burning.

Where is fireman Sam when you need him

[@ghostofjohnandre9136]

In the UK do you folks use the same fire departments for structural as you do for wildfires? I imagine that works due to the stereotypical wet summers in the UK if that is the case.

I feel like an idiot. We get firefighters in England?!

[@L3go_Man87]

I did not know we had a wild fire season, this is something I need to learn more about 😯

[@Lucerne12]

Very interesting video. I am an aerial firefighter from Australia. I do wonder if there is an opportunity to contract our equipment to the relevant authorities in the UK during the Northern Hemisphere Summer (our winter).

[@fieldsportstv]

There may well be. It's the responsibility of individual county fire services, especially in Yorkshire, Northumberland, Derbyshire, Powys, Moray and Caithness/Sutherland. / Charlie
