A Fire Service command team, along with four pumps and an aerial unit have been sent to the scene of a reported explosion at a power station in Derry.

The Fire Service was notified of the incident at 7.31 pm this evening.

Fire chiefs said it involved the power station on Lisahally Road.

A spokesperson for Fire & Rescue Service said they could not confirm at this stage how serious the incident is or whether there was anyone inside.

A spokesperson said: “We are in attendance with four pumps and one aerial appliance at the minute. We have a command team on the way.”

The heat, power and biomass power plant was built on a green field site near Derry Port in 2014.
It houses boiler and turbine buildings, a 33kv substation and storage for a range of equipment, as well as stack, transformers, conveyors, fans and silencers.
