According to the Department, the risk is due to current weather patterns and is deemed to exist in all areas where hazardous fuels such as dead grasses, shrubs, heather and gorse exist.
Its warning reads: While fair weather is forecast over coming days, an increase in fire risk can be expected ahead of forecast rain fronts over the long weekend.
This risk will peak on Sunday, 4 April, with current ignition risks appearing to be mainly associated with the illegal burning of waste in high risk areas with public access.
The Department also says there is an established pattern of risk associated with the Easter Bank Holiday weekend because of increased public activity in the countryside generally at this time.
