The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) confirmed a patch of grass and gorse 39,000 square feet had caught fire on the hill. Three appliances were deployed at 7.52pm, with crews from Altens and Central sent to battle the flames. Crews were able to bring the fire under control before the last appliances left at around 11.30pm. Known as The Gramps, the area has seen a number of fires over the past number of years. Earlier today, firefighters put out a blaze at Donmouth Local Nature Reserve, which is to the north of Aberdeen beach in Bridge of Don. SFRS confirmed a fire crew would return to the scene at around 7am on Thursday to monitor the area as a precaution.
