    Looked like the fire from yesterday was still going in Glencree this morning anyway.

    At least two that I'm aware of in North Wicklow the source were a disposable bbq, and a campfire. People who do either at the moment should be charged with arson.

    Argh, anyone that doesn't have the cop-on to ensure their bbq or campfire is well and truly dead before leaving it has no business being allowed out with fire-making devices.

    Mistakes happen and all. A gust of wind catches ashes and blows them into tinder dry growth. But that's why it shouldn't be left unattended for a moment when the ground is like this. And really, no-one should be using campfires or bbqs anywhere near vegetation in a heatwave anyway. Back garden. Beach. Not woodlands, fields or on a dry bog!!! >.<

    The country code should be mandatory teaching in schools or something.
