Urging landowners to #BurnToProtect

Hi – I’m Jody McEachern, Head of Prevention for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

The Wales Wildfire Board is calling on farmers, landowners and rural communities across Wales to play their part in reducing the risk of future wildfires as part of our annual #BurnToProtect campaign.

This follows one of the most significant wildfire seasons Wales has experienced.

Summer 2026 was Wales' hottest on record and included the driest July ever recorded, creating ideal conditions for wildfire to spread rapidly across the countryside.

Recognising that controlled burning remains an important land management tool when undertaken responsibly, the Wales Wildfire Board is encouraging those planning burns this season to work closely with their local Fire and Rescue Service, Natural Resources Wales, farming unions and other partners.

Farmers and landowners can burn heather, grass, bracken and gorse from 1 October until 15 March each year, extending until 31 March in upland areas. However, anyone intending to undertake a controlled burn should ensure a burn plan is in place and that all appropriate precautions have been taken.
