Moville restaurant gutted in fire 02.02.09

A popular bar and restaurant in Moville has been gutted in an early morning fire. The Waterfront at the town's shore front was destroyed when the fire broke out in the early hours of Sunday morning. Up to nine fire tenders from Moville, other parts of Inishowen and Derry battled for hours to get the blaze under control.

It is understood the fire broke out around 4am in an older part of the building. Eyewitnesses described how the fire-fighters had almost got the blaze under control when strong winds fanned the flames causing the fire to spread to the rest of the building. Residents in homes and properties adjoining the bar-restaurant on James Street were evacuated until the blaze was contained and the street made safe. Nobody was injured in the fire.
