Episode notes

Wildfires might not have been something you would associate with London or the UK previously, but in 2022 times have changed.

There have been reports of more wildfires across the capital and it seems like we’re going to need to adapt, another heatwave is expected over the coming week and conditions are still very dry… So just how prepared are we? 

Andy Elliott, firefighter, wildfire researcher, wildfire instructor and national wildfire tactical advisor for the National Fire Chiefs Council explains.
