Dublin Fire Brigade have been dealing with gorse fires in the Dublin mountains as the country faces unusually warm winter weather this week.
They shared a number of photos on the official Dublin Fire Brigade Twitter account, which is an incredibly unusual sight to see outside of the summer months.
They wrote, ‘Three fire engines are dealing with gorse fires off the Old Military Road in the Dublin Mountains.
‘Dry weather means dry vegetation.’
