Emergency services continue to tackle a number of fires in the Mourne Mountains.
Firefighting crews are currently in the areas of Bloody Bridge and Head Road and police are appealing for members of the public to stay away from these areas specifically and the Mournes area in general.
Sergeant Kenny Gracey said: “I can’t stress highly enough how important it is for visitors to stay clear of the Mournes area until these fires are dealt with. Just being in the area can put individuals at risk, impede emergency services in their work and can also tie up crucial resources that may be needed elsewhere. We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time.”
