What does Europe's warming trend mean in terms of hightened risk of wildfires, and is Europe doing all it should to address the problem?

DW  put these and other questions to Lindon Pronto, a senior fire management expert and co-founder of the Fire Climate Resilience Initiative. 

"We have seen the writing on the wall, and we still are unfazed by it. We still accept a loss of life of first responders. That's where I feel like we've become apathetic to the reality that we're now facing," Pronto tells DW.

DW apologizes for occasional sound problems in this recorded interview.
