BBCFirefighters are currently addressing a Tojo fire in Maghera, Londnderry of the County.
There are currently ten appliances and 33 firefighters attended in Glenshane Road.
The Fire Service and Rescue of Ireland of the North (NFRS) said that its staff attended 49 forest fires on Friday.
He added that “they continued to respond to several other emergency incidents throughout the night.”
The commander of the western NifRS area, David Doherty, said they were dealing with a “great fire that extended in two miles with four fronts of fire.”
He added that the fire was approximately “a mile of the mountain without vehicular access, so it is a particularly complicated incident for us.”
He described it as “in development” and said “can be intensified in the next few hours.”
“It’s a dynamic situation today,” he said.
‘Pushed to limits’
Doherty said it had been “an extremely busy week” for the Fire Service.
“I just came from the distant side of Litenaskea, 70 miles away, from another incident, as well as many of the crews,” he said.
“It’s not just this incident. There are varied incidents ongoing.
“It is very difficult for our resources and our firefighters have led to limits.
“It is a bone thrust one of the busiest weeks we have had.”
The NFRS said: “With the climate warning even in place, we are asking the public to adhere to our fire safety councils.
“Please keep attentive to the fire in the field. If you see a fire, call 999”.
