Firefighters are dealing with multiple wildfires across the UK as warm, dry weather raises the risk of fast-moving blazes. The latest fire broke out at Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh on Sunday evening, triggering a major response from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
The new outbreak comes as emergency crews face pressure in several parts of the country, with higher temperatures and dry ground creating dangerous conditions. Forecasters expect temperatures to reach 27C, adding to concerns that more fires could ignite or existing incidents could spread.
Arthur's Seat, one of Edinburgh's best-known landmarks, drew a significant emergency presence as crews worked to contain the blaze. The incident highlights how even well-visited outdoor areas can become vulnerable when prolonged dry weather combines with rising heat.
Across the UK, fire services remain focused on tackling active blazes and monitoring areas at risk as the warm spell continues. With dry conditions persisting, wildfire danger remains elevated in the days ahead.
