EXTENSIVE damage has been caused to a second building on Limerick’s Catherine Street after a fire broke out there this Monday evening.
Shortly after 7pm, four units from the Limerick City and county Search and Rescue arrived to the scene at Catherine Street where the blaze had taken hold of the top of the building.
The fire broke out at an apartment block next to where a similar fire gutted a premises just before Christmas.
This Monday, firefighters, wearing specialist breathing apparatus kits, searched the building and extinguished the fire that had taken hold of the top floor.
Extensive damage was caused to the property but no injuries were reported as the building was unoccupied upon the arrival of the firefighters and Emergency Paramedics.
The cause of the fire is currently being investigated by Gardai.
