Huge fire destroys bespoke kitchen design premises outside Dundalk
John Savage
The owners of a bespoke kitchen design company woke to devastating scenes on Saturday morning as an overnight fire destroyed the entire premises on the Cooley Peninsula.
The fire at ‘Christoff – Custom Built Rooms’- was discovered at around 6am, and at least six fire tenders and over 30 firefighters attended the blaze, which quickly spread throughout the extensive premises.
The main Dundalk – Carlingford Road was closed for a time on Saturday as firefighters continued to try to get the fire under control.
Diversions are in place, but delays are expected in the area.
