Earlier today, (Monday, July 22) both these fires were assessed before the county listed them as under control. Fire crews are no longer on the scene.

However, the fire service does ask residents in either of these areas to stay away from any equipment left behind, as crews will be patrolling these areas the next couple of days and may need this gear.
