Title: Gorse Fire - Glenshane Pass
Post by: martinastro on March 31, 2011, 07:34:03 pm
A few images of a controlled gorse fire on Glenshane Pass which became uncontrolled, it was quite wild for a time. Thanks Conor for the heads up phone call  :)

Brilliant images Martin, love the last one with the tractor to get a sense of scale-impressive flames. Theres been a lot of these gorse fires close to Omagh in the past few weeks too, one last week had six fire appliances in attendance.

Well captured Martin, I bet there was plenty of wildlife running for cover.
