Up to 50 firefighters took four hours to bring dangerous Cork blaze under control

It took up to 50 firefighters almost four hours and millions of gallons of water to bring the massive car-park inferno in Cork City under control on Saturday night.
And as the scale of the damage to Douglas Village Shopping Centre’s car-park continues to emerge, so too does the full impact of the major incident to the near 200 motorists whose cars are still parked inside, and on the future of hundreds of retail jobs in a suburb which is still reeling from the effects of a devastating flood in 2012.
