Gardaí believe two Bundoran fires were started maliciously

Gardaí in the Ballyshannon District are investigating a couple of incidents of criminal damage that occurred on Thursday,  June 8, in Bundoran.

A report came in relation to a fire at a derelict building along the Promenade Road in Bundoran shortly after 5.50pm on that date. The fire services attended the scene and extinguished the fire. At 6.35pm and while still at that scene, Gardaí and the fire services became aware of a second fire in the skip area of a business which is also situated along the Promenade Road. The emergency services then made their way to that location and the fire services again extinguished the fire. Both of these fires are believed to have been started maliciously. 

“We appeal to all road users who travelled in that area between 5.30pm and 7pm who had a dash cam to please make the footage available to us,” Gardai in Ballyshannon said. “We appeal to anybody who was on that busy stretch of road between those times and who may have observed any sort of suspicious activity to contact Gardai in Ballyshannon on 071-9858530. The Garda Confidential line can be contacted on 1800 666 111.”
