Fire crews battle Omagh arson blaze



BY MARK MCKELVEY

AN aerial fire appliance had to be called into Omagh during the early hours of Thursday morning to help stamp out a fire, which raged through an unoccupied house on the edge of Killyclogher.

The arson attack at the two storey building on the Old Mountfield Road was reported at 4.16am, just 20 minutes after a fire crew was called to extinguish a car that had been deliberately set alight a mile away in a car park behind the Bank of Ireland in the Campsie area of Omagh.

Two fire appliances were deployed from the Omagh station to the scene, but Station Commander for the Omagh District, Eamon McGrath, who was officer in charge in at scene, said the house was fully ablaze on their arrival and was too dangerous for his crew to enter the building.

With the roof fully destroyed, ground crews received assistance from an aerial appliance from Northland Fire Station in Derry that was able to help extinguish the flames from above.
