Firefighters tackle major blaze in Newry
A senior fire commander has thanked local farmers in the Newry area who assisted fire officers with a major blaze near the city centre.
At one stage, 50 firefighters were dealing with the incident in the Greenbank Industrial Estate.
The alarm was raised at 11:47 BST on Saturday.
Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) Group Commander, Paul Gould, thanked local farmers who had brought their slurry tanks. “I can’t commend them enough,” he said.
Mr Gould said officers had been working in “dangerous conditions” as the fire was “well-developed” when crews arrived.
He added that the blaze had been “very complicated to deal with” due to the “layout and construction of the building”.
The operation to extinguish the blaze is ongoing and fire crews are expected to remain at the scene overnight.
