UK cities told they must prepare for wildfires
Fire chief Dave Swallow in the aftermath of a moorland fire south of Birmingham last week
NFCC lead wildfire tactical advisor David Swallow, who is also group commander for Hereford and Worcester Fire Service, said: "Everything is bone-dry and services need to recognise the risk they've now got. If they don't, then they're naïve. He said that his wildfire group had for some time been preparing for the increased risk of wildfires from climate change but that the risk was now "immediate".
"It's horrific, but we have predicted it," he said. "I just don't think anyone would have predicted that it would happen so soon."
