House fire on Cochron Row

Newry Sinn Féin Councillor Charlie Casey has said that the damage caused by a fire at a house on Cochron Row, Newry could have been much worse if it was not for the quick response of the fire service.

Cllr. Casey said,

"Although extensive damage has been caused to this house, it could have been much worse. Four drums of oil were located inside the kitchen of the building, which could have also caught fire causing more damage not only to this building but also to the adjoining houses on either side."

"I commend the quick response of the fire services who promptly arrived and dealt with the blaze."
