Wildfires are continuing to burn in the Cairngorms; today Scotland's First Minister visited the area to thank those involved in the combined effort to tackle it.
I completely agree, those crews are absolute legends. Do you think the difficult terrain played a bigger role in the delay than the actual response time, Cal?

Heartbreaking to see those Highlands flames still going, but huge respect to the crews fighting it on the ground. Absolute legends for stepping up. Do we think the response was fast enough given the terrain? Let me know your thoughts below!
