An amber warning for wildfires has been issued for Northern Ireland this weekend as warm, dry, and settled conditions persist.
A yellow warning from the National Hazards Partnership is in place on Friday but this will be upgraded for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
A combination of dry vegetation and brisker winds create ideal conditions for wildfires to take hold.
The alert follows a cross-border wildfire in Counties Tyrone and Monaghan which began on Wednesday.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) says while they remain at the scene, the blaze has been contained.
At the beginning of April, the NIFRS said it attended 1,112 incidents over a week-long period, 296 of which were wildfires.
