Clouds of black smoke. Looks as if it is in front of the hotel. Plenty of sirens.

It looks form where we are as if it is in the cratos. The front tower on the west side looks like it is smoking. Do hope all is OK and no one hurt.

We had power cut just before I saw smoke I reckon there generators over heated and set light to the diesel that's only my opinion.

Last week their generator stopped working so there must be a large fault somewhere.

Another friend has the launderette in Catalkoy and she has been told the power will be off along that road for a few days. Anyone fancy doing some ironing to help out??

Birdy you were spot on, it was the gennies that caught fire because of the power cut, and the fire has spread through the Hotel basement.

I hope that no-one has been injured - any news on this please. Do any of the local hospitals have specialist burns units?
