Wildfire warning for Scotland amid fires in Aberdeenshire, Powys and Mourne Mountains

Firefighters in Aberdeenshire have already been tackling a wildfire this week.
A large gorse fire broke out on fields near Rosehearty and required four fire appliances to put it out.
Elsewhere in the UK firefighters in Powys, in Wales, have been tackling fires in the Elan Valley area since Sunday.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said a helicopter had been deployed to drop water onto the blazes.
They added there’s a high risk to nature and no significant rainfall predicted in the coming days to help put them out.
95 firefighters in Northern Ireland have been tackling wildfires in the Mourne Mountains since the weekend with another 45 tackling gorse fires in Loughermore Forest.
The Northern Ireland fire service said that firefighters have also responded to a number of other smaller wildfires in Belfast, Armagh, Lurgan and Rathfriland.
