Fire fighters spent several hours tackling the blaze.

A large gorse fire in Kilworth last evening (Wed) has been extinguished.

The alarm was raised at around 5 o'clock and fire fighters spent a number of hours at a place known as The Range before the blaze was brought under control.

Social Media posts show a large area of land affected.

It comes as landowners and nature lovers across the country are being asked to watch out for forest fires over the next few days.

A status orange high forest fire risk warning has been issued by the Department of Agriculture.

The warning remains in place until 12pm on April 7th.
