Firefighters Battle Blazes in Tipperary and Wicklow | Belfast News

Firefighters in Co Tipperary are in a tense sixth day of battling a wildfire at Slievenamon, with flare-ups yesterday now calmed by cooler temps and fog — but aerial support and extra crews are on standby to tackle lingering hotspots. Residents downwind are urged to keep windows and doors shut, especially those with respiratory or heart conditions, pregnant women, and children. Farmers should monitor livestock and move them if smoke is heavy. Officials say no property is at immediate risk, but ask people to avoid non-essential travel to keep emergency routes clear — and they’re doing door-to-door checks to answer questions. Meanwhile, in Co Wicklow, a gorse fire in Glencree is being closely watched as peaty soil smolders and winds threaten reignition — a helicopter will survey the area today, and the public is warned to stay away.
