About a dozen firefighters and three fire trucks were sent to the scene, he says.
“Eight of those firefighters and the chief officer remained on scene for approximately three hours,” says Walsh, “with the remaining engine truck remaining on scene for a further hour just to ensure that there was no further fire within the structure.”
No employees or firefighters were hurt as a result.
