West Midlands Wildfires and Heat Crisis | Cork News

England’s West Midlands erupted in chaos as record-breaking heat sparked devastating wildfires, forcing evacuations, shutting down the M6, and straining emergency services. In Stourbridge, flames ripped through homes—including a care home—while firefighters battled smoke inhalation and heat-related injuries. Temperatures soared to 33°C, drying out the landscape and fueling rapid fire spread. Authorities declared major incidents, with police, ambulances, and fire crews mobilized across Warwickshire and beyond. Local officials called the scene “apocalyptic,” warning this could be a preview of future disasters unless urgent action is taken. Firefighters urged the public to stay safe, avoid fire zones, and never attempt to fight fires alone—always call 999 if in danger.
