Business as usual at Grianagh Court

It's business as usual this evening (Monday) at a Department of Health mental health facility after a fire last night.

Grianagh Court, which looks after people suffering acute mental stress or illness, had to be evacuated at around 9:40pm.

It's not yet known what caused the blaze but it was contained to just one bedroom and no-one was hurt.

The affected room suffered smoke damage and is being cleaned up, but patients were allowed back in the rest of the building earlier today.

Clinical General Manager Paul Hurst is praising the way the incident was handled.
