Firefighters tackle Mourne Mountains blaze
Mourne DroneFirefighters have extinguished a large gorse fire on Slieve Binnian in the Mourne Mountains.
Forty-four firefighters, six fire appliances and a command support unit tackled the blaze, which was reported at about 13:30 GMT.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) had asked residents to keep windows and doors closed on Monday afternoon.
The blaze was extinguished at about 18:30 and all staff left the scene at 20:00, NIFRS said.
It follows two other fires in the area last week, one near Silent Valley and another near Castlewellan.
The fire near Castlewellan is believed to have been started deliberately.
The Natural Hazards Partnership issued an amber warning for wildfires in Northern Ireland last Friday.
It said that dry and breezy conditions heightened the risk of a blaze.
