Léirscrios déanta ag loscadh sléibhe i nDún na nGall. The Director of Emergency Services for Donegal County Council says that a mountain fire in Knock Colva and An Bearnas Mór has destroyed habitat, nature and land. Tá scrios déanta ar ghnáthóg, dúlra agus talamh ag loscadh sléibhe i gCnoc Colbha agus an Bearnas Mór a deir Stiúrthóir Seirbhíse Éigeandála Chomhairle Chontae Dhún na nGall. But Garry Martin says "we were lucky the wind was so light, soft" and both fires have been extinguished. Ach deir Garry Martin "go raibh an t-ádh orainn go raibh an ghaoth chomh lag, bog" agus tá an dá mhórthine múchta. However, "hundreds of acres of mountain have been burned back to the point where it was as good as said" but he said he did not yet have "an accurate figure". Mar sin féin tá "na céadta acra sléibhe dóite siar go dtí an dúid bhí sé chomh maith a rá" ach dúirt sé nach raibh "figiúir cruinn" aige fós. The Service has not yet received any reports of livestock or property being destroyed "but there are a lot of sheep up in the hills". Níl aon tuairisc faighte fós ag an tSeirbhís faoi stoc ná maoin a bheith scriosta "ach tá caoirigh go leor thuas sna cnoic". Donegal Fire Service sent out 5 fire units and an ambulance to tackle the arson in Bearnas Mór when they received news at around 5.30 yesterday evening that the area was on fire behind a number of houses. Sheol Seirbhís Dóiteáin Dhún na nGall amach 5 aonad dóiteáin agus ingearán le ghabháil i ngleic leis an loscadh sa mBearnas Mór nuair a fuair siad scéala thart ar 5.30 tráthnóna inné go raibh an áit tré lasadh taobh thiar de roinnt tithe. There were crews on duty there during the night and concerns about structures on the Ard an Amhairc. Bhí criúnna ar dulgas ann i rith na hoíche agus imní faoi struchtúir ar Ard an Amhairc. The County Council had also recruited a helicopter from Executive Helicopters who were able to drop 1,200 litres of water onto the fire from a special bucket, from 8am onwards. Bhí ingearán earcaithe freisin ag an gComhairle Chontae ó Executive Helicopters a bhí in ann 1,200 lítear san iarraidh a scaoileadh anuas ar an tine as ollbhuicéad speisialta, ón 8 a chlog ar aghaidh. Two fire brigades and a crane were called to tackle the other fires, in Knock Colva near Carrowkeel in north Donegal. Cuireadh fios ar dhá bhriogáid dóiteáin agus ingearán le ghabháil i ndréim leis na tinte eile, i gCnoc Colbha in aice leis an gCeathrú Chaol i dtuaisceart Dhún na nGall. Garry Martin strongly warned people not to have barbecues outdoors and not to allow any chance of ignition for mountain fires. Chuir Garry Martin fainic láidir ar dhaoine gan beárbaiciú a bheith amuigh faoin tír acu agus gan aon deis adhainte a thabhairt do loscadh sléibhe.
