An 'extreme' wildfire warning has been issued for the north east of Scotland, with the rest of the country facing a 'very high' risk of fires amid soaring temperatures.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has warned that rural and remote communities are at particular risk. Members of the public have been advised to take extra care and avoid increasing the risk of wildfires. The blaze, visible from space, is believed to have started because of a campfire. Fire bosses warned such events are increasingly likely because of climate change.
"That means being aware of the risks and following the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Wild and grass fires can start by the careless disposal of cigarettes and barbecues or campfires left unattended.
