Went for a look myself yesterday evening & was surprised they didn't close the road off.
There was another seperate fire burning around Dag's yesterday also. Frightening stuff, I imagine some of the homes were evacuated due to it.

Bit mental alright. Was wondering where the other one was.

Heard a bit of chatter suggesting they may have been deliberately started by disgruntled turf cutters. Sounds like BS to me though.

I'd heard about the fires and hope they weren't set on purpose, I really doubt if they were as all locals know the damage a forest/bog fire can do. I remember fire fighting in Donadea with my father when I was pretty young, making sure fire didn't get from one area to another and I never forgot seeing the damage caused.
