UK wildfires devastated more areas in 2025 than at any time since records began, figures show

Firefighters call for long-term investment and say UK is dangerously underprepared as climate crisis worsens Matthew Taylor Mon 24 Nov 2025 14.23 CET

Wildfires have devastated more moorland, forests and fields in the UK this year than at any time since records began, putting huge pressure on the country’s fire service, figures show.

The Global Wildfire Information System estimates that by November, wildfires had burned 47,026 hectares (116,204 acres) in 2025 in the UK – the largest area in any year since monitoring began in 2012, and more than double the area burned in the record-breaking summer of 2022.

The Fire Brigades Union, backed by climate groups and tax justice organisations, has written to the government asking for long-term investment in the service to help it meet the growing threat from wildfires and floods as the climate crisis worsens.
