Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether any Integrated Risk Management Plans put forward by individual fire and rescue authorities have included the planned use of aircraft in order to tackle wildfires.

Operational decisions on the resources required to fight fires and respond to other emergencies are a matter for each individual fire and rescue service.

No fire and rescue service in England owns a plane or helicopter, but many have drones which are now commonly used to monitor the spread of fires.
