There’s a huge fire somewhere in the centre of Limerick as I write.

Here’s a few shots.

    Looks toxic

  3. Bock February 13th, 2008 8:03 pm

    Yeah. That’s not wood-smoke.

    If you’ve the same weather we have the inversion effect will keep the smoke relatively low in the evening air as the ground temperature drops… I’d not want to be breathing that shit!

    I hope it’s the NCT centre, it would be no great loss.

    Nuts

    Oops – I’m about to head that direction myself :-(
    The important question is this: Will it affect the head on my pint?

    News says its a coal storage depot – Should help Limerick make its mark on global warming – Maybe somebody out there is having a party and didn’t want to use those non-eco friendly patio heaters. :-)

    I thought perhaps that John Fitzgerald had ordered his F16s in?

    Matbe the whacks opposite Johnny Hegarty’s yard are taking advantage of the weather and having a a barbecue, maybe grilling a few swans?

    Nuts

    It’s COLD storage, not coal storage:

    I have it from a reliable source that it is Limerick frozen foods that went up in smoke… is there a smell of cooked swan in the area?

    See… Limerick burning. Wait long enough and all your dreams come true.
    Next, Cork…

    A mate of mine drives for Cuisine De France (sp) who park their vehicles there overnight. A lot of their produce is also stored in the warehouse.

    All we can do is speculate at the moment but if Bock has snapped those two fellas at Turkeys instead of Swans we could at least suspect FOWL play.

    Nice photos, Bock.

  21. PaddyAnglican February 14th, 2008 1:53 am

    Still burning when I passed it at 10pm!

    Tut tut. Burnt the toast again, Bock?

    I suppose it’s too late to hope it’s not serious. That’s a bad one.
