The scene of this evening's blaze in Longford's Ardnacassa estate
An investigation has been launched this evening after a blaze ripped through a two storey house in Longford town, the Leader can reveal.
Several fire personnel and gardaí rushed to the scene in the Ardnacassa area of the county town after the alarm was raised at around 8:30pm.
The fire was eventually brought under control as fire crews battled to prevent the blaze from spreading to other properties either side of the affected house.
As our exclusive photographs show, the two storey dwelling was effectively gutted as a result of the incident.
No injuries have been reported, but the scene has since been cordoned off as gardaí launch an investigation as to how the exact cause of the fire.
