Firefighters are tackling a large blaze which broke out in a Co Fermanagh factory this morning.

A video showing a large plume of thick black smoke billowing from an unused agricultural shed on Crom Road in Lisnaskea has been posted on social media.

"No injuries reported so far. I hope that remains the case and that those trying to extinguish the fire are safe and successful," she wrote on Twitter.

A NIFRS spokesman confirmed crews are still at the scene.
