    I passed two fire tenders on the Dunmore Road this evening, replete with blue flashing lights - one at the Uluru, another at the ORR roundabout in Ardkeen.

    Any idea what was going on? I didn't see any smoke! Flooding maybe?

    Think there was just a little oil spill, they were spreading that green stuff on the road when I passed.
