At least 40 firefighters were needed to put out the blaze in the Belfast Telegraph building.

The multi-storey press hall suffered severe smoke and water damage in the fire, which started when stacked paper was ignited by a spark from a welder’s torch in nearby maintenance work.

Four pumps and three special appliances tackled the flames as they threatened to spread through several floors. The building was evacuated and no one was injured.
