Following recent wildfires, residents in North Wales expressed their anger over a Greenpeace mural depicting Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The mural, painted on a scorched mountainside, featured the phrase 'Our house is on fire, Andy' and was seen as an intrusion into the community's grief. Local residents Dean Ward and Allie Evans took it upon themselves to remove the mural, citing concerns about environmental damage and disrespect to the landscape.

Greenpeace defended its actions, stating the mural aimed to highlight the climate crisis and was created with temporary, water-based paint. The organization emphasized that the artwork was placed in an area already affected by fire, but residents felt it compounded their distress after the wildfires devastated the land.
