It’s hard to believe it’s more than 15 years since a large fire gutted the Horseware factory on Quay Street.
The business, run by the MacGuinness family from Dromiskin, suffered a huge blow on May 10th 2000 when the factory and its contents burned to the ground.
Thankfully Horseware has rebounded from that and no long term damage or loss of life was sustained.
Fifteen years on though pictures from that day have emerged on the Dundalk Firefighters Facebook page.
They’re worth a look to reminisce about one of the largest fires this town has seen in the last few decades. We’ve picked out a handful but check the rest of them out at www.facebook.com/Firecall999
