We have relatively few wildfires in UK, which is obviously a good thing. On average, there are 15 large fires 
a year (>30 ha burnt) . There have already been 11 this year. We're still in Winter. http://effis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/static/effis_current_situation/public/index.html … #warmwave #fires #strangetimespic.twitter.com/waWW6U0jDv

We had 30 plus hectares on Monday , didn’t show on effis, is your data of 15 large fires from effis or irs?

I created the plots via - http://effis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/static/effis_current_situation/public/index.html … through the "seasonal trend" link. I think data come via VIIRS and MODIS satellite measurements. I believe one caveat of the active fire data is that fires might be missed if it's cloudy.

Hi David just reading the comments and agree we are definitely having more than that and not all showing.
@NFCC_FireChiefs are encouraging FRSs to report wildfires that meet@UK_FRS criteria for a wildfire. This should next year allow the sector to accurately report on data -
@ForestryComm provides evidence of#wildfire sizes for incidents attended by#FireRescueService between 2009/10 to 2016/17. The vast majority of#wildfires are below 1 hectare, however as our evidence highlights we can have#landscape scale incidents.pic.twitter.com/VpX7H4Wg4f
