Firefighters have been tackling a large fire which caused extensive damage to a kitchen and bedroom warehouse in County Donegal.

It started at Cherrymore Kitchens & Bedrooms, a family-run business in Donegal Town, on Thursday night.

In a statement on social media on Friday, the company said no one was on-site at the time and the building would remain closed while the damage is assessed.

In a statement on Friday, An Garda Síochána (the Irish police service) described it as an "ongoing incident".

In a statement posted to social media, the Ballybofey and Stranorlar Chamber of Commerce said their thoughts were with the family who own the business.

They said it was especially devastating, as this year marked the firm's 30th anniversary and it employs a lot of people.

The chamber described the facility as "one of the most advanced and modern factories in the whole of Ireland".

"We as a chamber will do our utmost to help in any way we can," it concluded.
