Another installment of the 'native woodlands don't burn' debunking. Birch and oak are made of wood, and if they're dry enough (like in a drought) then they'll burn. And if they're on peat, they'll burn all the more. Just to reiterate, this is a fen. A famously wet habitat. On fire.

Councillor Simon Bywater has praised emergency crews and urged people to stay vigilant during the continuing dry weather. 📷 Terry Harris/CambsNews #cambridgeshire www.cambsnews.co.uk/major-holme-...
