A massive blaze erupted on the evening of December 13, 2024, at the historic Gulladuff Mills, located on the outskirts of Moville, Ireland. The fire, which broke out around 5 PM, illuminated the night sky and was visible for miles. Emergency services from across the Inishowen peninsula responded to the scene to contain the blaze, which was threatening nearby properties.

Firefighters battled the flames for several hours, with crews remaining on site late into the night. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, but the mill’s structure was severely damaged. The fire is believed to have caused an estimated €500,000 in damage. The property, which was once one of the largest early industrial complexes in the region, had been left derelict for some time. Although the building had been up for sale, it had fallen into disrepair and was found to have asbestos in the roof.

The mill was originally constructed in 1840 as a corn mill, with expansions taking place in the late 19th century. Despite its historical significance, the building had been abandoned for many years. Its location, on the R238 road between Moville and Carndonagh, made it a well-known landmark, but its derelict state contributed to the fire’s intensity.

The fire serves as a stark reminder of the importance of early fire detection in preventing such large-scale disasters. Advanced thermal imaging technologies, such as those offered by Planck Vision Systems, are essential in detecting temperature variations that could indicate the early stages of a fire.

Such technologies are critical for system protection and preventing substantial losses, ensuring operational excellence, and catching potential risks before they escalate. In this case, early detection could have helped prevent or mitigate the damage caused to the historic mill.
