UK to use military aircraft for wildfire fighting amid climate change

The UK government plans to use military helicopters and aircraft to fight wildfires, attributing the increase to climate change, and will invest £45 million in specialist response teams and equipment, £25 million in peatland restoration, and establish a new AI unit for wildfire prediction.

Why it matters. The UK's military involvement in wildfire fighting highlights the growing threat of climate change on infrastructure and public safety.
