Firefighters will remain on-site overnight at the R&H Hall animal feed storage facility in Cork harbour which has been extensively damaged by fire. At least two large warehouses used to store imported animal feed have been destroyed in the blaze which has been burning since early morning at the compound on the Port of Cork's deepwater berth at Ringaskiddy. Shortly before 11am the Port of Cork issued a statement confirming that there were no casualties, but shipping traffic in the port would be suspended temporarily. It has since resumed, but the deepwater berth remains closed until tomorrow morning. The fire was brought under control before lunchtime but five crews of two with breathing apparatus are continuing to put out smaller fires within the feed storage bays, as other firefighters hose down the outside of the buildings.
