This Footage Of A Huge Fire In Limerick Yesterday Is Terrifying

As you may have heard, there was a huge fire on the Ballysimon Road in Limerick yesterday and the latest footage of the blaze is beyond terrifying.

It's believed that the fire began within a pile of scrap metal at a ClearCircle Metals plant and Limerick Fire Brigade were made aware of the inferno shortly after 3pm.

JJ Bowles Pub and other local residents captured the fire on video and it's absolutely insane.
