Lower John Street, Cork, last night.
A vacant apartment block behind the Heineken brewery caught fire, with the entire building becoming engulfed in flames, smoke and embers billowing into other nearby buildings.
Residents of other blocks and properties, including Mike’s gaff Broadsheet’s Cork office, were evacuated, some acting on advice to bring valuables.
Cork City Fire Brigade had the fire under control by 9.30, continuing to douse the area and work for another hour or so.
No injuries have been reported.

Cork…
Yes, because a massive fire is suddenly not newsworthy because it’s in Cork. The fupp is your problem?
I’m glad there has been a bit of a decentralisation of BS’s content : )
In my experience, Cork people are the salt of the earth, they’d give you the shirt off their back.
What’s with all the sneering at Cork?

Fair play to the fire fighters. Great job.

Great to hear BS have gone international. Where’s the map with Chomsky icons?
