Wildfires - Scotland and Ireland
Firefighters have been tackling a major wildfire near Dornoch. Eight crews are now at the scene of the outbreak near the town’s water treatment works. A large area of grassland and gorse bushes are ablaze. Fire units from Dornoch, Tain, Lairg, Balintore, Inverness, Dingwall and two from Invergordon are at the scene.
Fire services in Kerry battled more than two dozen wildfires across the county yesterday, including some that threatened Killarney National Park. Several are believed to have been caused by gorse fires, which spread to due to high temperatures, strong winds, and dry conditions yesterday, although the exact cause is not yet known.
