Strategy aims to dramatically reduce the number of wildfires in Northern Ireland:
Dr Mark Hammond, who is director of the natural environment division at the NIEA, said "wildfires are a threat to people, property, wildlife and the countryside and efforts to fight them are a drain on the public resources".
Those fires, it added, "significantly impacted" the Forestry Service, Northern Ireland Water, the farming community and nature conservation and were the catalyst for a significant change in how the wildfire problem in Northern Ireland was looked at. Dr Hammond said the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service "do a great job in putting many of the fires out at an early stage", but that it only takes a small number to get out of control "to become expensive and really cause significant problems".
