Aerchór an Stáit seo ag cuidiú le seirbhísí dóiteáin ó thuaidh.

This State's Air Corps is helping the Northern fire services put out a major blaze in Co Antrim.

Tá Aerchór an Stáit seo ag cuidiú leis na seirbhísí dóiteáin sa Tuaisceart falscaí mhór i gCo Aontroma a mhúchadh.

The Air Force is pouring thousands of liters of water on the large fire in Glenairamh in north Antrim.

Tá an tAerchór ag doirteadh na mílte lítear uisce anuas ar an tine mhór i nGleann Aireamh i dtuaisceart Aontroma.

The starting line of the fire is about a kilometer long.

Thart ar chiliméadar ar a fhad atá líne thosaigh na tine.

It was announced yesterday evening that the fire was out of control and approximately 80 firemen have been trying to put it out since then.

Is tráthnóna inné a fógraiodh go raibh an tine imithe ó smacht agus tá tuairim is 80 oibrí dóiteáin ó ag iarraidh í a mhúchadh ó shin.

Northern Fire Service senior officer Paul Harper said they had formally asked the Air Corps team to assist them given the size of the fire.

Dúirt oifigeach sinsearach i Seirbhís Dóiteáin an Tuaiscirt Paul Harper go raibh iarrtha acu go foirimiúil ar fhoireann an Aerchóir cuidiú leo i bhfianaise chomh mór agus a bhí an tine.

It is thought that the fire will continue to burn for the next few days.

Ceaptar go mbeidh ag tine ag dó go ceann cúpla lá eile.
