Can't say I have absorbed the newly released UK 3rd National Adaptation Programme in full, but I would issue a plea to policymakers that following the events of last summer the risk of peri-urban wildfire needs to be recognised as an adaptation issue.

As with past documents, wildfire is viewed through the lens of risks to "terrestrial habitats". It is, but there's also a risk of multiple concurrent peri-urban wildfires overstretching fire services and people getting killed.

Reminder of what happened last summer - quote from a fireman with West Yorkshire FRS at the time:

" It’s about a completely and fundamentally different operating environment where fires burn with such ferocity, and spread with such speed in suburban areas that you CAN’T STOP THEM. We’ve seen the kind of conditions faced by international colleagues just miles from our capital city, and in towns, villages and cities the length and breadth of the country. You can’t ask your neighbouring FRS for mutual aid when they’re just a busy as you are"
