Challenging Fight Against New Forest Fire
Firefighters are battling a large wildfire in the New Forest, which has spread across over 100 hectares of dried heathland, fueled by dry, windy conditions and a prolonged drought. The fire, ignited by a lorry fire, has led to the closure of the main tourist route, the A31, and ongoing efforts include deploying multiple fire engines and drones to contain hotspots. Experts warn the blaze could take several days to control, amid increasingly severe weather conditions linked to climate change and record heatwaves.
