Edinburgh Fire Finally Out, Wildfire Warning Extended | Edinburgh News
About this episode
A massive fire near Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh has been extinguished after 24 hours, but a high wildfire warning remains in effect across parts of Scotland.
A massive fire that erupted near Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh has been fully extinguished after 24 grueling hours of firefighting, with crews finally wrapping up operations Tuesday afternoon. Sparking Sunday evening, the blaze sent thick smoke across the skyline and reignited briefly on Monday, forcing Queen’s Drive to remain closed — now reopened. Authorities confirm the fire is not under investigation for foul play, though its cause remains unknown. While the main blaze is out, a “very high” wildfire warning remains in effect across central Highlands, southern, and eastern Scotland through Friday, fueled by the Arthur’s Seat fire and another blaze in the Cairngorms. Officials are urging everyone to stay vigilant and take simple precautions to prevent wildfires, especially as temperatures soar.
