is growing and starting to spread out. In the hot weather we have lots of gorse fires that need to be contained and dealt with.
Got a notification about a gorse fire that just broke out near Letterkenny.
A gorse fire broke out near Mountain Top just outside Letterkenny on Thursday.
The blaze broke out in Calhame, a residential area, at around 8pm. Eyewitnesses say multiple fire brigades arrived and the fire was brought under control.
The fire coincides with the ‘Condition Orange - High Fire Risk’ warning issued, which is effective from Monday, April 20, until Monday, April 27. The Department of Agriculture issued the warning as the dry weather leads to a risk of gorse fire.
