    That was some fire, going for three days I think? I was talking to a guy in the city yesterday, he mentioned that some cattle had gotten burnt? I've not been able to find out anything on that, has anyone here heard anything?

    Yes, some cattle and sheep were killed. :(
    As you can see from the photo the fire is going against the wind.

    People who had there turf saved had the lot burnt on the bog too. If you ever worked on the bog, you must know that it's awful kick in the liathroidi for that to happen.

    Yep! I sure do. There were several fires up this way, turf and sheep got it alike. Do you know where about the cattle got killed and how, like were they trapped on a point in a lake or something?
