UK Unprepared for Increasing Wildfires, Firefighters' Union Warns

The UK is facing a surge in wildfires, and the firefighters' union has warned that the country is unprepared.

Last year, there were over 44,000 wildfires, a 72% increase from the previous year.

The Fire Brigades Union emphasizes the need for more resources, including firefighters, equipment, and training.
