Little Island, Ireland - November 16, 2025 A video recorded by Judie Russell on the night of November 16, 2025, shows a massive industrial fire blazing in the Little Island area, just east of Cork city. The footage is taken from across the water, likely from the Cork city side or the Passage West area, looking toward the industrial estate. In the distance, a vast wall of orange-red flames and dense black smoke surges into the night sky, casting an eerie glow that lights up the clouds overhead. The blaze appears extensive, with the base of the fire stretching across a long section of the horizon, indicating a serious incident at what seems to be a warehouse or factory site. In the foreground, dark water reflects the glow of the flames and nearby lights, with silhouetted reeds and vegetation framing the view. No people, vehicles, or flashing emergency lights are seen in the clip, which remains a steady wide shot focused solely on the dramatic fire and smoke. There is no commentary on the audio, only faint night sounds such as wind and what may be distant sirens too quiet to distinguish clearly. The post is captioned “Huge fire in Little Island Cork” and quickly drew licensing interest from news agencies including Storyful and Spectee, marking it as one of the earliest and clearest videos of the event. By November 17, local reports confirmed a large-scale blaze at a commercial premises in the area, with multiple fire units responding.
