Tis The Season
Tis The Season
No not to be jolly but for gorse fires, at present 9 Limerick units are around the county trying to get them under control and put them out.
It is time that people realised that these fires cause so much harm, if the wind changes they can spread uncontrollably and risk peoples homes. The wildlife is disrupted. At this time of year birds have hatched young and are just getting them out of nests, wildlife which live in these areas are homeless and move closer to to populated areas where they have to scavenge for food, or in the case of the rats they take over loft areas of houses .
It’s time the people who set these fires are held accountable, not just for the damage they do to the natural fauna and wildlife but for the drain of resources, while our brave firefighters are out there putting these wild fires out they can’t be available if a house in their area goes up in flames with people trapped inside .
