Firefighters Battle Wildfire on Slievenamon | Belfast News

Firefighters in County Tipperary are battling a major wildfire on Slievenamon, focusing on hotspots on the north side as warm weather threatens to worsen conditions. Airlift support from the Irish Air Corps and thermal imaging drones are helping pinpoint and extinguish remaining flames. While no homes are in immediate danger, authorities urge residents to stay away and keep windows shut if smoke is visible—especially those with respiratory or heart conditions, children, and the elderly. Farmers are advised to monitor livestock and relocate animals if needed. Though the fire has calmed on the south side, it’s flaring up north, with more smoke expected. A morning fog brought some relief by dampening the blaze overnight, and crews remain optimistic they’ll bring the fire under control within days.
