Firefighters remain at scene of gorse fire at Cavehill

A number of firefighters remain at the scene of a gorse fire on the Cavehill this morning.

Residents in greater Belfast reported seeing clouds of smoke billowing from the landmark on Wednesday evening.


Firefighters from NIFRS tackled the blaze overnight.

Last night officials said there was no risk to life or property, but residents were asked to avoid the area and keep their doors and windows closed.

Earlier this year, firefighters fought a number of gorse fires across Northern Ireland, affecting the Mournes and Cavehill.
