Wildfire Fiasco Exposes Scottish Emergency Response Flaws The recent wildfire in the Cairngorms National Park has sparked outrage among residents of Nethy Bridge who were evacuated from their homes.
Criticism is focused not only on the delay in declaring a major incident but also on the overall handling of the emergency response by the Scottish government and emergency services.
The government's initial reluctance to declare the fire a major incident until weather conditions changed has raised questions about its preparedness for such events.
