Crews were sent to Glen Tanar near Aboyne just after 6pm. A total of five pumps are at the scene alongside a community response unit and several forestry units. It is thought around 30 firefighters are currently tackling the blaze. Last week two wildfires broke out in the Highlands. At one point teams were faced with a five-mile wall of fire at Borgie Forest near Strathnaver.
