A massive fire recently blazed through the Ashdown Forest which was the inspiration for
Winnie-the-Poohs Hundred Acre Wood.
The wildfire occured on what was Britains warmest February on record.
The forest fire in East Sussex tore through 90 acres of land when two fires began within
just an hour of each other.
The first was reported around 1230pm in Nutley and the second blaze occured less than two
miles away.
It took a total of 65 firefighters just to combat the now connected destruction.
The fires are still under investigation although authorities are attributing the East Sussex
fire to unusual warm weather that resulted in the ground becoming drier than usual.
AA Milne the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a country home at Cotchford Farm, Hartfield
just north of Ashdown Forest.
His son Christopher Robin Milne would often explore the area and became the inspiration
for the character we know and love - Christopher Robin.
Milne would often even feature references to specific locations in Ashland Forest for
his stories.
So this tragedy is really pulling on my heart strings.
Firefighters are now reporting that more than 35 hectares, which is approximately 86 acres
of woodland was deeply affected by the fire.
As for the East Sussex side in particular well a spokesman for the fire and rescue service
is saying that the second fire saw flames consume nearly 200 metres of gorse and undergrowth.
For those of you wondering what a gorse is, its a yellow flowered shrub found in western
Europe and North Africa.
The public was warned to stay as far away as possible from these areas as fire fighters
used hose reels to contain the spreading blaze.
Its also been reported that areas of West Yorkshire and North Wales, as well as Arthurs
Seat in Edinburgh have been affcted by wildfires due to the record high temperatures.
This marks the first time in a UK winter that temperatures had rose higher than 21 degrees
celsius.
The firefighters spent more than seven hours fighting the fire until they could get things
under control.
As Charlotte mentioned the fire is being deemed accidental due to changes in weather condition.
Parts of Britain on that day were recording temperature highs greater than popular vacation
destinations such as Malibu, Athens and even Barcelona.
Thankfully the Ashland Forest will forever be immortalized in story form as the home
to Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, Kanga, Owl, Roo, Piglet, Gopher, Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-pooh.
