Great news this morning – Galway gorse fires have been brought under control




Galway Fire Brigade have confirmed that along with the help of the Air Corps and other emergency service personnel and lay-workers that the combined effort has thankfully managed to get the gorse fires threatening miles of land, businesses and even homes, under control.

The past 5 days have seen emergency crew working around the clock trying to push the fires into one of three areas in an effort to quench the nightmare scenario of it spreading.

The dry conditions and warm weather, although loved by all, was very much hampering the efforts of the emergency workers.

Thankfully this morning, the gorse fires are now said to be under control fully.
