Footage shows brave firefighters battling a thick gorse fire in the Wicklow Mountains near Bray on Monday night.
The crew of firefighters from Bray attended three separate areas last night to tackle the blaze.
Firefighters are seen using wildfire beaters late last night to fight back the flames.
The Wicklow Fire Service have asked for the public to refrain from using popular disposable BBQs in the mountains.
Michael Gahan, Senior Assistant Chief Fire Officer, said: "Wicklow Fire Service would like to ask the public, with the good weather, not to use disposable BBQs if they are in the Wicklow Mountains.
"These BBQs have caused a lot of incidents as they heat the ground and may reignite after the user has left the area.
"So we would frown on their use as they can take away resources that are needed elsewhere, especially during the pandemic."
However, the fire officer added that in general, gorse fires have seen a downturn due to the public's compliance with the coronavirus measures.
He said: "I would like to add that the public has been very good in general over the course of the lockdown.
"People are staying away and sticking to guidelines. We would be expecting to have to deal with a lot more gorse fires at this stage of the year under usual circumstances.
"So I would like to thank the public for sticking to the guidelines.
"We have seen a small reduction, however gorse fires are still continuing across different parts of the country and the fire service are asking the public to remain vigilant."
