Fire crews rushed to the scene of a massive gorse fire in the West Cork area of Schull on Sunday night.
The huge fire broke out on Mount Gabriel, a mountain on the Mizen Peninsula just north of Schull, with the alarm being raised just before 9pm following reports from locals of multiple fires all occurring at the same time.
Multiple units from a total of six different fire stations from around the area raced to the natural landmark after it caught fire with reports blaming the strong south-easterly winds as the reason for the fire getting out of control.
