Aerial Support needs to be provided to tackle the Rhinogydd wildfires NOW

Aerial Support needs to be provided to tackle the Rhinogydd wildfires NOW — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We are now into Day 9 of the fires on the Rhinogydd area in North West Wales which includes area of rare and protected habitats, which also had rare protected species. This fire is spreading, threatening to devastate property, infrastructure, further habitats and species, aswell as impacting health.

Additional details

Firefighters need aerial support to put out a fire that has been ravaging habitats and land for 9 days. It allegedly started by a visitor wildcamping when using a stove in the heatwave. No aerial support has been arranged by authorities, and RAF Valley allegedly cannot provide support even though this fire is in the route they use for training purposes. NRW said they had aerial support planned for the 20th July, but that has not materialised and NRW allegedly will not procure a private aircraft.
