A wildfire in the Cairngorms has been burning for three days and is reportedly not contained, according to local residents. Over 50 firefighters and two helicopters are actively working to combat the blaze, which has already scorched four square kilometers of land, prompting evacuations of homes and businesses in the area.
Community leaders have criticized the Scottish government for its characterization of the fire as 'contained,' highlighting concerns about the ongoing risks to lives, property, and wildlife. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is coordinating efforts to manage the situation amid high wildfire risks across Scotland.
