Authorities in the Cairngorms urge the public to avoid the area as crews continue tackling remaining pockets of fire. Across reports, officials say there are still “substantial hotspots” after the main blaze, meaning the situation is not yet fully resolved. Fire crews remain on site and are expected to continue operations over the weekend and into next week to deal with the lingering hotspots. The guidance focuses on public safety due to the continued presence of areas that can flare or smoulder. While the reports do not specify the cause of the fire or the extent of damage, they consistently emphasize that firefighters are working to extinguish residual fire points rather than stand down. The advice for visitors is to stay away until authorities confirm that risks have reduced. The coverage aligns on the message that although active firefighting continues, conditions remain changeable and hazardous in parts of the affected landscape.
