Lucky escape for Cork family after mobile home goes up in flames

John McDonagh and his family were asleep in their mobile home when they woke up to a smoky bedroom.

A family of six in a Cork town have been left homeless after their mobile home caught fire - and say the blaze could have had tragic consequences had one of them not awoken to see the smoke.

The McDonagh family had been living in the mobile home at a public picnic area on the Cork Road on the southside of Fermoy.
