A gorse fire, which forced the closure of the A4 dual carriageway near Dungannon, County Tyrone, has been extinguished.

Fire crews were called to the blaze on the Eglish Road at about 15:10 BST on Thursday.

Four lanes had been shut on the main road from the Eglish Road turnoff to the Granville junction, but they have since reopened.

Five fire appliances, which attended the scene, have also been withdrawn.
