Neighbours in fear after second vacant house blaze

Neighbours say they are living in fear after fire ripped through a vacant city house for the second time in two years.

Gardaí are now working with Cork City Council to establish the ownership of the property on Evergreen Road, which was gutted in an early morning blaze yesterday.

Several elderly residents had to be evacuated from neighbouring homes after fire broke out in the vacant terraced house sometime around 5am.
