CREWS TACKLE BLAZE AT DONEGAL SHOP AFTER TUMBLE DRYER GOES ON FIRE

DONEGAL fire crews called in the help of colleagues from the North last night to deal a shop blaze.

Camp West requested the assistance of firefighters from Strabane to attend the scene of a fire involving a tumble dryer at a semi-detached shop in Raphoe around 8 pm.

“Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hosereel jet and a covering jet to extinguish the blaze,” said a spokesman.

“Crews removed a gas cylinder to safety.

“They also ventilated the smoke from the premises.”
