How big is the Killarney National Park fire damage? From 23-25 April a forest fire hit Killarney National Park on the Ring of Kerry. This video tries to show how bad the Killarney National Park fire affected the forest, and the places tourists visit.

Taken on 26 April, this is an unscripted and (mostly) unedited video, shot for requests that I got both publically and privately, to get a better understanding of the damage. Please forgive me if I'm not my most chipper self. This had an unexpectedly heavy mental impact. As a local, I drive here often, so to see this is... well I think you can imagine.

Watch till the end of the video to see my conclusion.

👉 NOTE: 👈
This channel is primarily focused on sharing the history, mystery and beauty of Ireland, for people who want to visit and travel this gorgeous country. As a result, I focus in the video on that group of people. I in no way intend to offend anyone or downplay the impact of the fires on the local inhabitants, or the wildlife, by not focussing on them.

🍀 REMINDERS: 🍀
Three things to keep in mind for all our videos:

1 - See a place you like? Comment with the specific timestamp (by typing for example 2:23 or 9:07) and I'll try to get back to you with the coordinates of that exact spot as best I can. Ireland is too beautiful not to share it with as many people as possible, so if you see a nice shot in any of my videos, let me know by commenting the timestamp!

2 - All our videos are mainly focused on tourists who want to get the most out of their Ireland visit (although please enjoy even if you are not in this category!). As such, they are 'beginner level', as there is so much to share about Irish history, nature and culture. This is a field that has a lot of enthusiasts in it. If you are one of those, you probably know way more about the subject than is shared in the video. Keep in mind that the intent of all the videos is to be at an introductory level so that visitors can get the most out of their trip and start to get familiar with what they will see when they visit Ireland. Be kind in your words and keep it civil in the comments. I'd love for you to share even more information in the comments so that everyone can keep on learning about this great island!

3 - Take responsibility for your own travels. These videos are meant to share my own love as an immigrant to Ireland, and as an inspiration for future visitors. They are not intended to tell you what to do or how to do it. Travelling has an inherent danger to it. Ireland is not a 'curated' playground. It is a real country, with its own beauty and shortcomings. The roads are small and windy. There are seldom fences at cliffs. The mountains are slippery, and the bogs soggy. Prepare yourself accordingly when you visit. Be smart, don't take unnecessary risks, and take responsibility for your own travels. Through being well-prepared and making smart decisions, I hope you will have a great stay and that our videos have played a small role in your enjoyment.
