Hankle Common Habitat through fear after wildfire sweep

One charity has said that in Surrey, a nature reserve will take decades after the rest of this weekend was burnt with wildfire.

The Aimfibion and Reptail Conservation (ARC) stated that Hankli Common’s section on Thursday, that it uses for protection, as well as keeps the areas for the Ministry of Defense (MOD) which have been affected.

ARC Vice President Howard INS said that this year’s hot weather had made the first fire on this section of Hankale Common since 1947.

The Surrey Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has been “dumped” after the explosion flowing through at least eight hectares (20 acres) on Saturday.

At its height, 16 fire engines were in the fire scene, which broke at around 16:00 BST according to nearby residents.

Six fire engines stayed at the scene on Sunday.

Mr. In said that as soon as he was allowed by SFR, he would go to the area in the hope of finding any living reptiles.

Heathland is also a home of ground-nesting birds, including knights and skylarks and is used as a Hollywood film set, which includes James Bond film Skyfall and Marvel film Black Wido.

Mr. Ins said: “It takes decades to repair. It was one of the best sites for reptiles in Surrey, if not a country.”

He said that the arc was carrying the houses “remarkably long”, which ripened an environment for wildfire, with a breeze to repair wildfire due to hot, dried summer.

“If the rest of the heat is like this, it will be difficult to grow through anything,” he said.

“The environment bank balance of investing at that time in these sites is reset on zero. It burns all our investments.

Rob Jenx, Surrey Fire and Rescue Service Group Commander, told Radio Surrey, “The land below is very dry with the significant heat we have done in the last few weeks and months.”

He said that the cause of the fire was not yet determined, and urged the residents to be aware of bonfire and barbecue during heatwave, which “can spread very quickly in a severe fire” if not properly monitored.
