'Everything was moving very slowly': Shopper describes fire which engulfed Douglas car park

A number of eyewitnesses whose cars were parked in the multi-storey car park that was engulfed by fire in Douglas this evening spoke to the Irish Examiner.
Brid Forde had returned to her car after completing the weekly shop in Tesco supermarket which is the main anchor tenant in the Douglas Shopping Centre. She loaded up the boot and prepared to drive out. Her car was parked on Level One. As she turned a corner to approach the ramp she noticed smoke and flames.
