An investigation has been launched this evening after a blaze ripped through a two storey house in Longford town late on Friday.
Several units of the fire brigade and gardaí rushed to the scene in the midlands town after the alarm was raised at around 8:30pm yesterday.
The fire was eventually brought under control as fire crews battled to prevent the blaze from spreading to other properties either side of the affected house.
The house suffered extensive damage as a result of the blaze.
As our photographs show, the two storey dwelling was effectively gutted as a result of the incident.
No injuries have yet been reported, but the scene has since been cordoned off as gardaí launch an investigation as to the exact cause of the fire.
