28 Temmuz 2026BBC News

Firefighters are actively working to control hotspots in extensive areas of smouldering moorland in the Highlands. Recent rainfall has brought a glimmer of hope for relief in their efforts to combat the wildfire.
The situation remains critical as crews strive to contain the blaze and prevent further spread.
Wildfires have become increasingly common in various regions due to rising temperatures and prolonged dry spells. The Cairngorms, known for their rich biodiversity, are facing significant threats from these fires, which can devastate local flora and fauna.
The arrival of rain could significantly aid firefighting efforts, providing much-needed moisture to dampen the smouldering areas. However, the long-term effects of such wildfires on the ecosystem and local communities remain a pressing concern.
