Summary
A devastating wildfire rages through Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park, forcing hundreds from their homes and consuming 600 hectares over ten days. With smoke visible as far as Aberdeen and winds shifting unpredictably, officials have declared it a “major incident,” expanding evacuations and deploying hundreds of firefighters, bulldozers, and helicopters. Residents describe the smoke as apocalyptic, frustrated by conflicting assurances and stretched resources. As the UK braces for another heatwave amid a worsening drought, this blaze underscores the growing threat of extreme weather and the urgent need for coordinated, resilient response.
