It was an extremely busy night last night for the Donegal Fire Service.
The service responded to a total of four incidents.
In the early hours of this morning, a blaze broke out at a house in the Lismonaghan area of Letterkenny at around 5am. It’s believed it was a derelict building. The fire service worked to bring the fire under control and Gardai have confirmed that investigations are continuing. There are no reports of any injuries.
A short time later, between 5:30am and 6am, the fire service was again tasked. This time to a fire at two sheds on the Pearse Road at the old bacon factory site in Letterkenny.
Councillor Jimmy Kavanagh says there have been reports of anti-social in the locality.
He believes efforts need to be made to secure the site:
The Donegal fire service was also last night tasked after a fire alarm detected smoke in the attic of a HSE owned property housing elderly residents in Meenmore, Dungloe. All residents were safely evacuated and upon further inspection, the fire service declared it a false alarm.
A diabetic blackout in Inishowen also required the services of the fire service.
