Tipperary County Council have said that a wildfire on Slievnamon has "reduced significantly".
The council confirmed this in a statement, as firefighters continue to tackle a number of hotspots in the area. They have said that fire crews, along with the support of Air Corps, are on site to manage any remaining hot spots, and to closely monitor the wider mountain area.
In their statement, according to RTÉ, the council said: "Smoke levels are noticeably reduced today as a result of the progress made in suppressing the fire".
"Some smoke may continue to be noticeable intermittently in areas close to Slievenamon, depending on wind direction and fire activity", they added. "Residents, particularly those with respiratory conditions, are advised to continue taking appropriate precautions where necessary".
"The multi-agency response remains in place, with all agencies continuing to review conditions and prioritise the safety of crews, local residents, landowners and the wider community".
Elsewhere, Carol Kennedy, Acting Senior Assistant Chief Fire Officer at Tipperary Fire and Rescue Service, has said there is still one line of fire remaining around the Holy Year Cross.
She also went on to say that aerial support will be on the scene as they hope to beat down this fire before temperatures rise today.
"If temperatures rise again it will ignite everything we tackled yesterday," she said. "We are taking a strategic approach today, it's still all hands on deck on day seven of this", (according to RTÉ).
Ms Kennedy added that crews will remain at the fire lines which were extinguished yesterday, should they ignite again so they can act quickly if anything appears to change.
In other news, there was reignition overnight of the fire in Glencree, Co Wicklow. Their county council has said that the National Parks and Wildlife Service is continuing "monitor the area and are dealing with any areas smouldering in the peat".
