⚠️ Firefighters remain at Highland and Moray wildfires for fourth day ⚠️
Firefighters are working tirelessly to tackle wildfires across Highland and Moray for the fourth day in a row.
Eight fire appliances remain at various locations on Tuesday, 1 July, to extinguish pockets of fire from Nairn in Highland to Knockando in Moray.
If smoke is still visible, people living and working nearby are advised to keep windows and doors closed.
There have been several road closures as a result of the fires and members of the public should avoid travelling to the area.
Firefighters have been supported by the use of helicopters provided by partners for water bombardment and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has deployed specialist wildfire teams and assets.
The SFRS is aware that members of the public have been donating welfare supplies to local fire stations involved in the response. Whilst grateful for the support, SFRS is not able to accept any more items. Monetary donations cannot be accepted.
When outdoors, please be mindful.
The advice is don’t light fires, stoves or BBQs during prolonged dry periods and don’t leave litter behind or drop ci******es.
