'Wildfires are a threat to people, property, wildlife and the countryside'
Northern Ireland environment bosses have launched a public consultation on their new plan to address wildfires.
The consultation document outlines how 3,000 wildfires costing some £8 million in 2011 prompted the development of an Interdepartmental Group and Stakeholder Group which came up with some ideas - but since the blight has continued, they say "more needs to be done". Mark Hammond, NIEA’s Director of Natural Environment Division, said: "Wildfires are a threat to people, property, wildlife and the countryside and efforts to fight them are a drain on the public resources. Wildfires in Northern Ireland impact on large areas of landscape, particularly in heather or gorse dominated upland areas.
