THE Fire and Rescue Service has been praised for the work it did last night in reaching and putting out a large tyre fire in Derry.
Ballymagroarty Community Empowerment said on its Facebook page:
“There was roughly 150 tyres burnt in a forest area.
“They were being kept there by youths for the august 15th bonfire.
“When we got to the fire we had to ask a lot of young children to leave the area that had run into the forest to see the fire.
“No one was hurt.
“We want to say a big well done to the fire service for the work they done just to reach the fire was a nightmare for them.”
