Factory damaged in blaze

Ten workers were inside when fire started

A warehouse near Dungannon, County Tyrone has been badly damaged by fire.

It took almost a dozen fire engines to bring the blaze at a kitchen production factory in Moygashel under control.

The fire began at 1745 BST on Friday.

It is thought that up to ten workers where inside the warehouse at the time.

One person collapsed and was taken to hospital. They are believed to have suffered from the effects of breathing in smoke but their condition is not thought to be serious.

The storage area of O'Donnell's Kitchens on Syerla Road in Moygashel was destroyed as the fire crews worked into the night to contain the blaze.

Eoin Doyle, of the Fire Brigade, said crews prevented the blaze spreading to the main part of the factory.

Fire fighter Doyle said: "The storage area is completely destroyed by fire, but we have managed to stop the fire from spreading to the main production part of the factory, so it will be back into action shortly."

The police said that although a cause for the fire had not yet been established, they were not ruling out any possibilities.
