The Home Office works closely with other departments including the Met Office, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and stakeholders including National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) and the England and Wales Wildfire Forum (EWWF) to understand and mitigate the risk of wildfire as set out in the Wildfire Framework for England. The framework can be found at Wildfire Framework for England | Fire England<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> In 24/25, the Home Office is funding a new National Resilience Wildfire Advisor to assess what additional wildfire national capabilities might be needed to increase resilience to the wildfire risk and to ensure coordination of approaches across the sector.<\/p>"}
