Donegal fire crews bring gorse fires under control

written by Chris McNulty April 25, 2020

FIRE crews across Donegal battled last night to bring blazes under control.

A fire broke out near the old mill in Convoy village last night. The fire, which broke out on waste ground behind the mill, was put out before it could spread.

In south Donegal, gorse fires raged in the night skies near Ballintra and Ballyshannon.

A gorse fire between Ballintra and Pettigo – which was visible for miles across the south of the county – was attended to by fire crews.

Ballyshannon Fire Brigade attended to a gorse fire at Breesy Mountain in County Fermanagh near to the Donegal border.
