The fire service in Inishowen has attended a series of separate gorse fires in the Redcastle area.
Eye-witnesses said three different fires had broken out at Ballyargus Hill and spread quickly across adjacent hills.
Thankfully there are no adjacent buildings or homes in the area.
One of the fires is adjacent to Lough Fad which is the primary water source for East Inishowen.
With current dry weather, the fire service across the county are on increased standby for further possible outbreaks of gorse fires.
