Wildfire Threatens Cairngorms National Park | Sheffield News

A fierce wildfire in Cairngorms National Park has raged for three days, devouring over four square kilometers and forcing evacuations of homes, campsites, and the Cairngorm Mountain Resort. Firefighters, helicopters, and water from Loch Morlich are battling the blaze in rugged terrain, creating firebreaks while working with landowners. Though no injuries have been reported, families described harrowing scenes, especially children’s distress. The fire threatens both Forestry Land Scotland and the Abernethy National Nature Reserve, home to rare wildlife. Access to Glenmore Forest Park remains restricted, but Aviemore is safe and open for business. A “very high risk” warning is in effect across parts of Scotland as authorities monitor the situation closely, praising community efforts to help contain the flames.
