WATCH: Damaged caused by fire that broke out this week in Leitrim village
Kevin Carolan and Kristina Ward woke up to hear the fire alarm going off and quickly realised that a significant fire had taken hold near the fuse box in their kitchen.


A Leitrim couple who had a very lucky escape from a fire that broke out late at night in their Dromahair home this week have spoken to the Leitrim Observer about their experience.
Kevin Carolan and Kristina Ward woke up to hear the fire alarm going off and quickly realised that a significant fire had taken hold near the fuse box in their kitchen.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help the couple with the damage described as "substantial though not complete thanks to the fire service's rapid response. Right now, we're looking to just get things cleaned up, sealed up and help them with temporary accomodation/supplies. Help with supplies for rebuilding is a stretch goal."
