Wildfire on Slievenamon Rages On | Belfast News

A massive wildfire on Slievenamon in County Tipperary has raged for four days, spreading into a Coillte-managed forest and threatening wildlife and habitats. Fire crews, including 16 firefighters on-site, battle the flames amid tough terrain, aided by helicopter water drops and hoping for thunderstorms. No homes are currently in immediate danger, but residents are urged to shut windows, move livestock, and protect vulnerable individuals. Officials stress the fire didn’t start naturally and warn against outdoor fires or drones near the scene — especially around Thorney Bridge on the River Anner — as cooperation is key to safely containing the blaze.
