Central Hotel Fire, Bundoran
The Central Hotel Fire, Bundoran, was a fire at a popular family-owned hotel in the heart of the seaside resort of Bundoran, County Donegal, in the northwest of Ireland. On 8 August 1980, a fire broke out killing ten people, including both locals and holiday makers. The tragedy was covered as part of the RTÉ television series ''Disasters'' in summer 2007.
==The blaze==
Just after midnight on Friday 8 August 1980, a call was made to the emergency services after a fire had been discovered in a small corridor to the back of the main bar, and going towards the main staircase used by the hotel's guests. The fire broke out at the height of the summer season, with sixty guests, mainly couples and families, booked in on the night, while a function was also taking place in the main dance hall of the hotel.
Initially, the town's own fire brigade was dispatched, and was to be aided by other units from across the northwest including Ballyshannon, Donegal Town, Killybegs, Letterkenny and Manorhamilton. As panic spread throughout the town, many locals and holiday makers rushed to the hotel in an effort to rescue some of those who had been trapped inside, with people jumping from the upper floors of the building into blankets held by those below.
The fire spread rapidly and burned so intensely that cars parked on the street outside burst into flames. Ambulances were sent from Ballyshannon and Sligo to bring the many injured to hospital, while the fire brigade fought the blaze throughout the night.〔(Bundoran Fire Brigade Site about fire, including photos of the aftermath )〕
