Tullamore barbers shop, Tommy Clarke's has extended thanks to the fire services, the ESB and the general public after a fire caused by an electrical fault on Thursday evening.
Two fire tenders, firefighters, ESB personnel and Gardai attended the fire scene at William St in the centre of the Offaly county town on Thursday.
The fire, which was caused by an electrical fault, broke out at the William Street barbers at about 6pm.
Onlookers gathered at the scene and traffic was disrupted as fire personnel battled to bring the incident under control.
Later that evening in a post on Facebook, Tommy Clarke's barbers said: "This evening at approximately 6pm, a fire occurred outside our premises in an electrical box located on the exterior of the building. Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident, which is the main thing.
We are currently working to get the shop back up and running as soon as possible and will keep everyone updated as we know more.
A massive thank you to Tullamore Fire Brigade and ESB Networks for their swift response and professionalism in dealing with the situation.
Thank you also to everyone for all the messages and support — it’s greatly appreciated."
