Production to continue after factory blaze
Residents in Macroom woke to see what they thought was snow falling, only to discover it was ash drifting over the town from the blaze at Mid-Cork Pallets & Packaging in Clondrohid, almost five miles away. The factory employs more than 100 people in the production of pallets and packaging, mostly from timber. The company also supplies aluminium and plastic products.
The fire is understood to have been confined to a building used mainly for storage of timber stock and raw materials.
