An extreme wildfire risk warning has been issued across Scotland as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) battles a significant blaze in Fauldhouse, West Lothian, covering 40,000 square meters. This comes amid dry weather conditions that have exacerbated the fire risk, leading to the destruction of nearly 30,000 trees on the Isle of Arran and evacuations in Galloway. With warmer temperatures recorded, the warning remains in effect until Monday, highlighting the human impact on the increase in wildfires, which average 170 annually in Scotland.
