Firefighters tackling wildfires for third day

Firefighters are spending a third day battling three wildfires in the Highlands.

Fire crews were sent to tackle blazes in the Nairn, Dava and Lochindorb area north of Carrbridge when the alarm was raised on Saturday June 28.

Three fire appliances remained at the scene near Lochindorb on Monday, where the fire was more than three-and-a-half miles long.

Two fire crews were tackling the blaze at Dava while two were at the scene near Nairn, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said.

SFRS said: “If you live in the area and smoke is visible, keep your windows & doors closed.”

Several roads in the Carrbridge and Dava areas were closed while emergency services dealt with the incidents.

Police advised people to avoid the area if possible.
