Firefighters continue to battle a wildfire near Glenshare Pass in Northern Ireland.

Drone footage, captured on June 27, shows billowing smoke rising above the hills in Sperrins.

The filmer writes: ''The hottest day ever recorded here in Northern Ireland and we had our biggest gorse fire in years.

''Multiple fires and smoke plumes extended across the Sperrins which made for a dramatic sight to everyone passing along the famous Glenshane Pass.''

The fire is around one mile in length and consists of five separate blazes, reports say.

Hottest day ever recorded here in N. Ireland, 30.08C, and we had our biggest gorse fire in years. Multiple fires and smoke plumes extended across the Sperrins which made for a dramatic sight to everyone passing along the famous Glenshane Pass.
