Ahead of the new series of For Every Response starting next week, we bring you a special bonus episode focused on wildfires.
Catherine Levin talks to Area Commander Gemma McSweeney and Watch Commander Beth Francis from West Midlands Fire Service. They get into the detail about the Stourbridge wildfires that saw 37 houses destroyed and vast amounts of land burnt out during the five-heatwave summer.
They reveal how the control room adapted to deal with huge spate demand, what it was like for the frontline and how they work with partners to cope with relentless temperatures.
While it may be cooler now, temperatures for next summer are likely to be similar if not higher, so listen on to find out more about the learning from this year's response.

127. Tech Perspectives with Scot Dunn from Humberside Police
This penultimate episode of a short series of the podcast called Tech Perspectives is brought to you in partnership with The Emergency Tech Show and the Police Digital Service.
Catherine talks to Scot Dunn Chief Digital and Innovation Officer for Humberside Police.
This conversation builds nicely on from those earlier in this series as we look at how a police force can innovate when it has limited budgets.
Scot shares four innovations from his force: from the officer on the beat, to the victim who is having the worst day of their lives and just wants to know what’s going on, to an efficient way of running non-emergency call handling and ending with predicting officer wellbeing needs.
It just shows innovation takes many forms, requires a healthy risk appetite and a willingness to be OK with failure because that's how you learn.
