Wildfire Forces Evacuations in Scotland | Sheffield News

A wildfire in Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park has forced mass evacuations, with residents told to flee so fast they left pets behind. Over 500 firefighters battle the blaze for days, as smoke so thick locals called it apocalyptic—now drifting toward Aberdeenshire and the North Sea. Strong winds make the fire unpredictable, threatening dry Caledonian pine forests and nearby homes. Police declared a major incident, urging people to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activity. Evacuations continue, including a precautionary move northwest of Dorback Lodge, as emergency crews race to contain the spreading flames.
