Householders moved in Garvagh fire
RESIDENTS have been forced from their homes due to a fire at a farm near Garvagh.
The blaze broke out at an outshed in the Carrowreagh Road area, near the Co Londonderry village.
It is believed the building contained a substantial amount of fertiliser, leaving the plumes of smoke particularly toxic.
A spokesman for the fire service explained the shed also provided storage for gas cylinders and diesel.
Residents in the immediate vicinity have been temporarily relocated as a precautionary measure.
Other householders were told to keep their windows and doors closed.
