Fire in Cork at the moment

Sept 19th Update. For today’s fire go here.

Somewhere on the Northside.

Fire Cork City June 2006

Update: Donncha provides more details and photos.
Scrap yard in Dublin Hill apparently. Donncha’s photos should be published in the Echo. Very artistic for a scrap metal fire. 🙂

The smell of rubber and other ghastly burning smells is invading Ballintemple at the moment. Seems like a big bloody fire alright.

RTE Web coverage.

    We were sitting outside when there was a loud explosion and it started raining soot down on us. Police, ambulance, fire brigade, helicopters to whole whack attack then roared past soon after.

    I still have no idea what went up in flames.

    Maybe that Cork yachting club has moved on from commemorating Drake, to honouring the memory of other parts of the “British connection”.
