FIREFIGHTERS have spent over two hours tackling a “deliberate” fire on a bog near Swanlinbar.
Up to 30 hectares of the bog at Gortalughany Scenic Drive in the Florencecourt area was on fire.
The blaze could be seen from as far as away as Enniskillen.
Firefighters from Enniskillen Fire Station attended the incident just before midnight.
A spokesman for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service has told impartialreporter.com that the fire is being treated as “deliberate.”
