UK Battles Wildfires Amid Drought Warnings

A massive wildfire broke out near Maerdy in southwest Wales on Friday evening, rekindling later that weekend before being extinguished by Sunday. In England, a significant fire in Dartmoor, Devon, burned over 1,200 acres at peak intensity, with crews from 13 stations and wildlife support assisting. Britain is experiencing one of its worst wildfire years on record, exacerbated by prolonged dry conditions leading to record low rainfall levels and drought warnings in parts of Ireland.
