Scotlands Wildfire Crisis: New Strategy Amidst Rising Blazes - The Scottish government unveils a new strategy to combat a growing wildfire crisis, with the peak season from March to May approaching. Last year saw a record 239 large fires, likely fueled by climate change. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is enhancing its capabilities with new equipment and volunteer programs. Agriculture Minister Jim Fairlie emphasizes the importance of prevention, as massive blazes last summer scorched tens of thousands of acres and likely killed thousands of animals. Data shows 80% of major outdoor fires occur in spring, with 68% caused by accidental human factors like campfires or cigarettes.
