The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) is currently dealing with a large gorse fire in Co Tyrone.

Around three miles of gorse is on fire in the Ballagh Road area of Clogher. There are 15 fire appliances and around 80 firefighters currently at the scene.

The alarm was first raised just before 1pm yesterday.

A spokesperson for the NIFRS has appealed to those living in the area to take precautions.

"If you live in the Clogher and Fivemiletown vicinity, please keep your windows and doors closed.

"With a weather warning for wildfire in place, we are reminding the public to adhere to our fire safety advice. Please stay vigilant to fire in the countryside. If you see a fire, call 999."

Meanwhile, Monaghan Fire Service said it has been working with the NIFRS in recent days.

Chief Fire Officer, Dermot Brannigan, said they have assisted in the response to a "significant gorse fire located on the northern side of the border in Co Tyrone".

Monaghan Fire Service has also been deployed to a number of isolated gorse incidents in the wider Bragan area.

Mr Brannigan added that they will continue to monitor the situation over the coming days during this dry weather period.
