The Northern Ireland Fire Service (NIFRS) is currently attending a fire at a 5G mast in west Belfast.

Two fire appliances and one aerial appliance were dispatched to the blaze on the Colin Road.

There have been a series of arson attacks on 5G masts in west Belfast, with the fire service recording 13 incidents between January 2023 and December 2024.

The MP for the area, Sinn Féin’s Paul Maskey, said it’s “shameful that another vital phone mast has been vandalised tonight.”

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said a fire at a mast on the Stewartstown Road on Wednesday, and a fire on a different mast at an industrial estate in Dunmurry on Saturday were both deliberate.

Maskey said the attacks “are causing serious harm to our community and putting lives at risk”.

“Those involved in targeting vital infrastructure in west Belfast must end this reckless and destructive behaviour.”

He said his party “completely condemn these attacks. They must end now”.
