Thanks Hedski.
The fire is actually situated further into the Connemara region nearer to Oughterard. The forest that is ablaze is the biggest forest in Ireland and about a third of it has already been burned. Weather is still dry here today so they will presumably have another full days flying ahead. Heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow and that hopefully will bring the fire to an end.
Not sure if Executive Helicopters have their EC120 out there.
