SCOTTISH MSPs have demanded that cuts to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) be reversed as wildfires sweep across the Scottish Highlands.

Firefighters, allied emergency services and local volunteers have been battling huge blazes across the north and east of the country, some of which were visible from Nasa satellites. 

Ariane Burgess, Green MSP for Highlands and Islands, paid tribute to those fighting the wildfires.
