A heatwave is turning the UK into a wildfire tinderbox, with the Met Office warning of “very high” fire risk—especially in London and the southeast—while temperatures soar to 35°C. Fire chiefs blame preventable human actions like careless barbecues and discarded cigarettes, urging the public to act responsibly. An amber heat-health alert is in place for southern England, highlighting dangers for vulnerable groups. July has been one of the hottest on record, and while rain is forecast for Sunday and next week, the window to act is now. If you spot a fire, call 999 immediately.
