If you can see it
Call 999 and ask for the Fire service — give a what3words location or a nearby landmark. Keep upwind and don't try to tackle it yourself.
Found automatically by Arcus from NASA satellite heat detections. Size, severity and smoke direction are estimates from orbit — this is a satellite's-eye view, not confirmed by the fire service. Seen by NOAA20,NOAA21,SNPP. Back to all UK wildfires.
