O=C=OFire chiefs warn UK is not prepared for climate crisis impactsThe <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UK</a> is not prepared for the impact of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateBreakdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateBreakdown</a>, fire chiefs have said, as they called on the government to take urgent action to protect communities. The National Fire Chiefs Council (<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NFCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NFCC</a>) said the ability of fire services to tackle <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weather</a>-related emergencies was at risk, despite them often being the primary frontline response to major weather events including <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/flooding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flooding</a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/fires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fires</a> caused by <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/heatwaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatwaves</a>, and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/storm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storm</a>-related emergencies, all of which are becoming more common. The <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MetOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MetOffice</a> predicts that winters by 2070 will be as much as 4.5C <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/warmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#warmer</a> and 30% <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/wetter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wetter</a> than they were in 1990, while summers may be up to 6C warmer and 60% <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/drier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drier</a>. The south of England is projected to face temperatures reaching 40C (104F) and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/rainfall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rainfall</a> is expected to increase by a quarter.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/feb/02/fire-chiefs-warn-uk-not-prepared-climate-crisis-impacts" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/feb/02/fire-chiefs-warn-uk-not-prepared-climate-crisis-impacts</a>
