(FIRES & RESCUES)
County Cork
A significant vegetation fire occurred this evening in the vicinity of Camden Fort. Cork County Fire Service responded with crews from Crosshaven, Carrigaline and Kinsale Fire Stations, supported by Cork City Fire Brigade. A four-wheel-drive vehicle and water tanker were also deployed to assist firefighting operations. Due to strong easterly winds, a significant volume of smoke was carried across the harbour towards Carrigaline, which at times made it difficult to accurately assess the location and extent of the fire from land. The
Coast Guard was requested to assist and provided valuable support from the water, enabling firefighters to gain a clearer view of the affected area and coordinate firefighting operations more effectively. The Port of Cork's firefighting tug also attended the scene and assisted operations through the use of its water cannons.~Cork County Council FB
