Large fire at Corries farm 'has now been brought under control' - NIFRS
A large fire at a number of sheds on the Corrie farm, near Newtownards has been brought under control.
In an update this morning by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Services, a spokesperson said resources have now left the scene.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
The blaze at the Corries Meats premises on the Crossnamuckley Road was reported at about 7.15pm on Saturday.
Dozens of firefighters tackled the blaze until it was brought under control on Sunday morning.
The Corrie family has thanked emergency services.
They said in a statement: “Our family confirms a fire at one of our business properties; all individuals are safe and accounted for despite the devastation caused.
“We thank emergency services and are working with authorities while supporting our people and operations.”
DUP leader Gavin Robinson, in a Facebook post on Saturday evening, described the fire as ‘devastating news’ and said wind conditions had worked against efforts to contain the fire.
