Emergency crews remain on site for one of largest ever wildfires

At its height nine fire crews were battling the blaze

A fire so big it can be seen from space.

Crews are still on site tonight in Cannich where a blaze has been ongoing since last week.

Two firefighters were flown to hospital yesterday after an incident involving an off-road vehicle.

The fire has devastated vast areas of the Corrimony nature reserve and nesting black grouse, where conservation efforts have continued for 25 years.
