A WOMAN IN her 20s is in a serious condition in hospital after a fire in Waterford last night.
Gardaí and emergency services were called to the blaze at a residential premises on Wellington St at around 11pm.
A woman in her 20s was taken to University Hospital Waterford with serious injuries.
Four firefighters were also injured in the blaze and were treated in hospital.
Chief fire officer at Waterford City Council Niall Curtin told TheJournal.ie, “Conditions at the incident were difficult.
It was a very hot fire and there were people trapped inside the building.
“We had reports of persons trapped inside the building so a comprehensive search of the building had to be carried out.”
He added that people were located in another area of the building but firefighters had to transport the causality from inside the building.
That’s the nature of the business, it can be very dangerous.
Eleven firefighters attended the scene. The four injured firefighters have all been discharged from hospital.
Gardaí say that investigations are ongoing.

Yeah! The hilarity that is American politics continues to deliver.
Biden is one of the worst presidents in America history.
Trump 2024.
@Hannah Hannah: Biden will not be ranked near Trump’s current 4th worst position. However, I don’t believe he should run for re-election due to his age (please note the obvious implication about Trump as well). Biden’s administration has generally done an effective job (with some major and minor screw-ups and also some unexpected major successes and some expected major successes) and Biden has had the unfair advantage of following Trump, which distorts Biden’s public perception to the positive in almost every way possible. The problem is that the Democratic Party have done very little to establish another potential candidate in the public awareness.
@Hannah Hannah: except for all the rest of them that is
the free pass this guy gettin’..!
is Joe busy may 6th ?
why would the POTUS snub the coronation ?
@GERARD KENNELLY: because the King of England isn’t his boss.
@GERARD KENNELLY: Because no American President has ever attended a British coronation so why should he?
Unfortunately he has not acquitted himself well in the role. But at least he was 100% better than that other option the Republican party were offering. It was most definitely a case of “ANYONE is better than letting Trump back into power.”
I love Joe Biden but I don’t think he should run again.
BIden is absolutely not up to it at all and it is more than essential that the Democratic party find the courage to break it to him . He is quite simply past it and I say it as someone who is a senior citizen myself . On the other hand while he is lost in a nostalgic daze about his Irishness Ireland is the lucky beneficiary . Meantime Hillary Clinton.on Late Late was absolutely flying it , bright as a button , wonderfully articulate .She can’t have been too focused on Bill though ,who looked so utterly ecstatic with the beautiful head of Mrs Colm Eastwood on his shoulder as they hugged each other during all that meet and greet .Hillary ,was robbed before of the top job but would make a great candidate still .
