Firefighters are tackling a huge blaze in Co Derry.

The blaze broke out at commercial premises at Craigmore Road, Coleraine, overnight.

At 2am this morning, there were 67 firefighters in attendance along with eight pumping appliances, two aerial appliances, two water tankers and a command support unit.

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service are currently dealing with the incident and operations are ongoing.

Area commander Andy Burns for the NIFRS said the operation will continue for some time.

He advised residents to keep their windows and doors closed due to “a large plume of smoke”.

“It’s in a rural area so it’s not densely populated,” he told BBC Radio Ulster’s Good Morning Ulster programme.

However he said it was “significant” and asked that the road network be kept clear and encouraged people “not to go and look for themselves”.

“Don’t let curiosity get the better of you,” he added.
