Drama at Gailey

15:38 on Monday 20th December we heard a loud 'thump', I thought it was a gunshot, George thought a bird had flown into one of the windows; we looked out of the window and saw this ....

... thick black smoke .....

George dialed 999 and we were informed that all the services were on their way

..... we saw and heard more explosions .....

.... and more fierce flames ....

we hoped that the driver ..

... was well clear of this

taken from the stern of RnR

the fire fighters are bringing it under control

but the heart of it is still fierce

taken at 16:47 - the firemen were still in attendance in the dark - it was still smoking

the end result.  No-one was hurt in the incident - thank goodness.
