Abandoned baby seagull rescued from fire at Belfast Primark store

"I raced out onto the balcony to get it as he was fully exposed to the smoke and as he can't fly would have sadly choked to death as he had no shelter." The rescuer manage to get to Smokey and get him to safety before the building was evacuated.

"The things you have to do! Just glad he's safe... if a little smelly." The fire broke out on the top floor of the building at around 11am yesterday morning and spread quickly through the rest of the structure. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) sent 14 appliances and 80 firefighters to tackle the blaze. The store had recently been refurbished.
