Wildfire in Cairngorms Battles Wind | Belfast News

A wildfire in Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park has raged for over a week, with shifting winds and unpredictable conditions making containment a nightmare for firefighters. The blaze, sparked near Glenmore last Wednesday, forced evacuations and now sends smoke as far as Aberdeen — 50 miles away. With over 100 firefighters, helicopters dropping water, and fire breaks being created, emergency crews are battling a dynamic and volatile fire. First Minister John Swinney warns the public to heed emergency advice and stay out of the exclusion zone as agencies including Police Scotland and the park authority work around the clock to control the blaze — all while nature keeps throwing curveballs.
