Major Fire at R & H Hall Grain Store in Ringaskiddy, County Cork 9/1/2021,

Cork County Fire & Rescue Service Statement

Cork County Council can confirm that an incident was reported in the R and H Hall Grain Store at 8.40am Saturday morning 9th January. Crews arrived on site at 9.00AM with tenders from Carrigaline, Cobh and Crosshaven together with an aerial appliance from Midleton and a Command Vehicle from Bandon.

There were no injuries reported as a result of this incident. The Port of Cork suspended all shipping operations in Ringaskiddy, however shipping is expected to resume in the morning.

The fire was brought under control at 10AM. The fire remains contained. Fire Service Crews are maintaining a presence on site to expose and extinguish any hot spots that may exist within the storage facility. As Fire Crews manage this incident and remove panels from the structures to access hot spots, any flare up may produce fresh smoke.

Cork County Council would like to reassure members of the public that this is a standard approach to managing an incident such as this, which involves natural, organic animal feed. Any smoke arising from the site is as a result of this organic animal feed material. Fire Crews will remain on site throughout the night.

Update Sunday 10th January @ 4pm

Update on the R&H industrial fire in Ringaskiddy port. After taking over from the night crew from Kinsale Fire Brigade who did a fantastic job of containing the fire and fighting it while we all rested up. We still have the fire under control but there are still small fires within the grain and seed compartments of the building.

They are proving hard to bash down but with the great determination and serious hard efforts put in by the crews here from Carrigaline Fire Brigade, Crosshaven Fire Brigade, Cobh Fire Brigade, Midleton Platform and Bandon Incident Command Unit. We have constant Breathing Apparatus Wearers commited into the building and the roof is being removed at present. ~Carrigaline Fire & Rescue FB
