The risk of a catastrophic fire at hartlebury common is increasing every day, see my earlier post for the details of why. The difficulty for fire fighters at hartlebury is the terrain and its elevation. Drier climate, drier hartlebury common, winds, high elevation,increase in heathland.

The danger as well, is the area around the common is in close proximity to houses, pouplation, etc.

The risk of secondary fires in the future, therefore is very real and increasing.
