Air Quality Being Monitored Following North Wexford Fire

The fire broke out on Sunday afternoon on Tara Hill. Multiple units of the fire service worked through the night and across Monday to bring it under control.

Seven fire crews from Wickow and Wexford stayed at the scene of the fire outside Gorey, after working through the night.

The crews, from Gorey, Bunclody, Arklow and Carnew worked alongside Coillte, Gardaí and local farmers, to aid the supply of water tankers, traffic control and create fire breaks in the area.

This blaze broke out at around 3.45pm on Sunday afternoon - on the hill just North of Ballymoney.

It resulted in large plumes of smoke, affecting many areas in the locality.

Wexford County Council says air quality will continue to be monitored and is advising those living or working in the immediate area to keep doors and windows closed.
