Title London's burning! How wildfires start and how to put them out - as blazes break out across Britain amid the heatwave Media name/outlet Mail Online Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 19/07/22 Description According to Julia McMorrow, a researcher at the University of Manchester, the UK has a temperate climate that is not usually associated with wildfire, yet wildfires occur annually.
'Severe fires by UK standards can occur in any year but became a significant hazard in drought years such as 1976, 1995, and 2003,' she said.
'Although these fires did not cause fatalities and are not on the same scale as those that occur in North America, Australia, or the Mediterranean countries, they had negative impacts on ecosystem services in the short term.'URL https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11028729/How-wildfires-start-out.html Persons J.M.
