As County Wicklow Fire Service, the Irish Air Corps and other agencies continue to battle the extensive gorse fire on Bray Head today, we look back at the recent fire at nearby Lough Bray to see the scale of destruction that these wildfires leave behind.
Unfortunately this fire is reported to have most likely to have started with the use of a disposable bbq.
Some Important advice to follow during the current warm weather - when near upland areas, forests or locations where wild vegetation is present:
1. DO NOT light fires or bbqs and be careful of all activity involving fires.
2. REPORT any suspicious activity you may observe.
3. REPORT any wildfires you see to local fire brigade.
(Call 112 or 999)
4. DO NOT approach wild fires under any circumstances, they are extremely dangerous.
5. KEEP access points, rural roads and forest entrances clear for emergency services.
