The Growing Dangers Of Wildfires

Few things scream “climate emergency” more clearly than seeing wildfires engulf landscapes and livelihoods. As extreme heat continues across the UK, recent research hows that relentless high temperatures have left most people increasingly anxious about the future. How do we translate that heightened concern into meaningful action when faced with the reality of destructive wildfires sweeping the country?
Join us on Wednesday, September 30th at 7pm for a discussion exploring the growing threat of wildfires and what we can learn from places with extensive experience managing them.
Our speakers:
Richard Boniface from the New South Wales Rural Fire Service (RFS) in Australia will share his experience from the Berowra Brigade and insights into managing bushfires in a country with extensive wildfire experience.
We will also be joined by Phil Swallow, Commander of Enfield Fire Brigade, and Andrew Holtzhausen, who has experience fighting wildfires in South Africa.
