Wildfire on Slievenamon Mountain | Belfast News

A fierce wildfire on Slievenamon in Co Tipperary has been raging since Monday, with firefighters and the Air Corps battling flames fueled by shifting winds that keep pushing the fire into new areas—including a forest. Two helicopters and ground crews are working tirelessly, aided by thermal drones to track hotspots, as the blaze moves north-east. Though the southern flank has calmed, the threat remains high, with roads closed and crews on high alert. Nature’s power is on full display, but so is the grit of those fighting to contain it—hope is rising that the fire may finally begin to subside in the coming days.
