The call went out as rush hour was building just before 5pm and 14 minutes later at 5.08pm the fire service arrived on the scene.

The incident involved a fire on the forecourt involving a single petrol pump and a motorcycle resulting from a petrol spillage.

Two units of the fire service arrived, but the fire had been extinguished at the time and the pumps were isolated as a precaution. No injuries reported.

Flanagan’s Forecourt has reopened for business but investigations are taking place as the situation could have developed into a more serious situation.
