Ringaskiddy residents call for publication of emergency plan following large fire

While the blaze at the R&H Hall storage complex is under control, it is still burning and generating large smoke plumes.

Firefighters are expected to remain at the Port compound for several hours as they continue to dampen down the flames at the R&H Hall grain storage facility.

Residents living close to the scene of this morning’s large blaze at the Port of Cork’s deepwater facility in Ringaskiddy have called for improved communications and the publication of an emergency plan for the area.

The call from the Ringaskiddy and District Residents Association comes as emergency services continue to monitor the fire, and advise people living nearby to remain indoors, with doors and windows closed.
