More than 70 firefighters are working round the clock to control the wildfire that has been raging across difficult terrain on the Mourne Mountains. Northern Ireland's first minister, Arlene Foster referred to the wildfire as ‘devastating and tragic’. "We're working with small pumps out of rivers but predominantly it is a physical, hard, beating-out job up there," Assistant Fire Commander Aidan Jennings said.
