There looks to be some bush fires burning to the north of Monaghan town, maybe round Bragan. I can see three or four fires burning in the distance, has anyone seen them close up? Some bad fires in Donegal with the recent good weather, hope these ones don't do too much damage.

Here is what I could see from my house last night.

A video just to show the scale of it. Have seen small pockets of fire on this mountains but never as big as this.
