Wildfire at Strawberry Hill Heath | Nottingham News

Wildfires rage again in Nottinghamshire as crews battle a major blaze at Strawberry Hill Heath, a rare heathland sanctuary in the heart of Sherwood Forest. Eight fire engines raced to the scene Sunday after flames, sparked overnight, flared out of control — only to be contained hours later. This isn’t the first fire this summer: a major blaze scorched the area in July, and another erupted just three days ago. Blame the record-breaking dry spell — July was the driest in 190 years — leaving protected landscapes dangerously vulnerable. Smoke warnings are in place, and firefighters are stretched thin, even canceling a water safety event. As England and Wales bake under relentless heat, the fire service remains on high alert to prevent any resurgence.
