Download the Fire Danger Notice 07 of 2025 

Arising from current weather patterns a high fire risk is deemed to exist in all areas where
hazardous fuels such as dead grasses and shrub fuels such as heather and gorse exist.
High-pressure weather patterns continue to dominate overall fire risk. Warm, and dry weather
conditions are expected to remain in place over the weekend and beyond with increased fire
risks expected as a result. Fire behaviour and spread rates may be moderated by recent
rainfall and increasing levels of live growth in upland vegetation but will be increasingly
influenced by high temperatures, low humidity levels <50% and variable light to moderate
windspeeds during the span of this notice. Windspeeds may exceed 25km/h in some areas.
With continued fine weather, higher levels of visitor activities are expected in the countryside.
Continued vigilance is warranted in areas with open public access or associated with active
turf cutting. Fire activity during the last 7 days has been focussed on peat cutting areas.
Visitors to public recreational areas should cooperate with all fire safety requirements and not
light open fires or barbeques in high-risk areas. Landowners and managers should remain
vigilant to all fire activity and report all suspicious activity to An Garda Siochana. Rural users
should cooperate with all requests regarding fire safety, obey all relevant bye-laws and be
considerate in parking vehicles so as not to impede access by emergency vehicles.
