Drone captures eerie sight of Northern Ireland wildfire during sunset

Aerial views show a wildfire raging in Northern Ireland during sunset.

The drone footage, captured yesterday (July 4), shows smoke filling the air as the fire rages the hills of Kilrea amid a bright sunshine.

The filmer writes: ‘’The smoke was blowing across the sky for miles, a friend and I chased out to the location where I obtained this drone footage, the scene was dramatic with sun filtering through the smoke at golden hour, a truly remarkable sight.

‘’It looked to be burning over peat or bog land.’’
