Huge flames can be seen rising into the night sky across Belfast as fire crews tackle wildfire covering hundreds of metres of woodland.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said that two fire engines have been tackling the gorse fire on Cave Hill, in north Belfast, which started shortly before 9pm on Wednesday night.
Social media images show the massive blaze with large plumes of smoke billowing up and people have voiced their worry for the wildlife which is thought to have been devastated.
