Fire destroys Waterfront Bar and Restaurant

The Waterfront Bar and Restaurant Moville was destroyed when a fire broke out about 4am on Sunday Morning, 1st February. Residents in the area were evacuated while tenders from Inishowen and Derry got the fire under control, and prevented it from spreading to other properties. Water had to be taken from Lough Foyle. Derry fire service District Commander said "We got a couple of portable pumps down to the lough and starting pumping from the Foyle. This helped things significantly". Mr. Lynch also praised the cooperation and professionalism of the cross-border fire-fighting teams on duty that night. Some of the building was smoldering on Monday morning.

There was no one in the Waterfront at the time and nobody was injured in the fire.

North East Inishowen company offer their condolences to Seamus McLaughlin the owner of the Waterfront, and to his staff who have lost their jobs.
