Huge blaze at Haulbowline naval base
The alarm was raised at 9pm when a huge fire broke out in historic buildings undergoing renovation within the base.
Shortly after 10pm, as fire brigade units from the city and county were supported by a Cobh-based firefighting tug on the water, one of the emergency crew said the flames were “out through the roof” of the four-storey building, which houses the Lewis Glucksman marine research facility.
