According to the NIFRS it was a case of ‘controlled burning’ which had spread to the main building.
“Firefighters dealt with a fire and provided advice. The cause of the fire was determined as accidental and the incident was dealt with at 3.20pm,” said a NIFRS spokesperson.
SDLP representative John Creaney said: “The fire was not started maliciously but at this time of the year when the roads are very busy with Christmas shoppers it could have been hazardous to road users.”
