Wildfire risks are ‘very high’, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has warned (file image). A “very high risk” of wildfire has sparked a warning for people living in parts of the Highlands and Moray. It comes after an official wildfire risk warning was put into force in the eastern Highlands, eastern and southern Scotland from Wednesday into Thursday. Human behaviour can significantly lower the chances of a wildfire starting, so it is crucial that people act safely and responsibly in rural environments and always follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
