For lack of an exingusher the kitchen was lost.

For lack of an ansel system the restaurant was lost.

For lack of a sprinkler system the building was lost.

When they rebuilt the building they added sprinklers, so they paid for it in the long run anyway.

Barry i am surprised you didn't correct Marc on that. It was JP Monahans Restaurant. The name changed to Marty Doyles when it was rebuilt.

I was at the Hommocks Ice Rink that day and i can remember seeing the smoke from there.

Could not remember the original name (we enjoyed going there though) and after the rebuild we went once, and never went back (so the new name never was of importance to me).
