Scottish wildfires: Firefighters battling wildfires across Moray and the Highlands for fourth day

  • Dozens of firefighters have battled large wildfires that broke out on Saturday across the Highlands and Moray regions of Scotland.
  • Strong winds spread the fires and smoke, prompting a significant deployment of crews, helicopters, and specialist wildfire teams from Aberdeenshire, Moray, and Highland.
  • Firefighters have worked closely with landowners, including gamekeepers using specialist equipment like all-terrain vehicles and fogging units, to control deep peat smouldering areas and difficult terrain.
  • Ross Robison, a senior officer with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, noted that the extensive wildfires have posed significant difficulties for firefighters throughout the last four days, with eight fire engines still operating at the scene.
  • The incident revealed weaknesses in national wildfire resilience, leading to calls for urgent government investment in prevention, response training, and better resourcing for future wildfire management.
