There were still small flames at around 6pm and the firemen were using the crane to reach them from behind.

I must say that the first photo with the birds is nice. I know it’s a scene of a building on fire. But still i like it.

There weren’t any problems going half-way down Kennedy Quay at 09:00 and Centre Park Road was open (to have a gawk at the flames).

They obviously thought about using the Gerry O’sullivan but its monitors didn’t seem to have the reach necessary – still she sprayed enough water to make sure the fire didn’t spread to the Lee

Managed to get a few decent pics…

Thanks Micki – the mill is several miles away from where I shot this and the birds were flying over the river much nearer to me. I took about 30 shots of the fire and the few shots with the birds are my favourites.

The birds really make this shot. I wonder if they are flying away, toward, or just keeping near the fire; and what their intentions are.

Wow, did you get some photos? I was tempted to drive down there but Gardai are telling people to stay away. I am *so* glad that I bought that zoom lens now. It was a pain to come back to Blarney to get it and I cursed myself all the way home for not bringing my 18-200 zoom earlier!

They firemen are standing on the adjacent building now putting the fire out. I can see it from the office. It looks like it’s almost out at this stage. Apparently, the building I’m in shook with the explosion.
