Pictures: Aftermath of fire at mattress recycling plant in Longford town
The fire occurred at a mattress recycling plant on Little Water Street in Longford Town.
A mattress recycling plant in Longford town, which was the scene of a fire yesterday, is planning to re-open in the near future.
The building itself, which is located across from SuperValu, was not damaged in the blaze which is believed to have started accidentally.
The fire is thought to have begun sometime between 4.30am and 5am yesterday August 31 after a mattress ignited.
Fortunately the fire brigade arrived on the scene within minutes and had the blaze contained before it could spread.
As a result of their swift work, two nearby buildings were spared damage.
Members of Longford Fire Service remained on the scene until lunchtime to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
Longford Gardaí confirmed they were called to the site at 5.45am. No injuries were reported.
