Blaze at chippy is investigated
FIREFIGHTERS raced to battle a blaze at a popular chip shop in the village of Articlave yesterday morning.
Emergency services were scrambled to the scene just after 8am.
Officers from the PSNI also attended the incident.
Aaron McCorkell, who owns the Chequers hot food bar, said on a Facebook post last night: “Unfortunately we have had a fire at our Articlave (shop) during the night.
“Luckily only a lot of smoke damage, which we are already working on to get the mess cleaned up.” He hopes to reopen within days. An investigation has been launched to establish the cause of the fire.
