A Co Fermanagh football clubhouse has suffered ‘serious damage’ following a fire on Saturday afternoon. Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NFIRS) were called to the scene on May 23 following reports of a blaze at the Enniskillen<\/a> Road site.<\/p>\n NIFRS<\/a> sent five appliances to the scene to bring the fire under control. There were no reports of any injuries.<\/p>\n In a statement, a spokesperson for the club described the blaze as ‘significant’ and said the clubhouse would be closed for the ‘foreseeable’.<\/p>\n The statement read: “There was a significant fire in the Ballinamallard United FC clubhouse this afternoon.<\/p>\n “Five fire engines and accompanying firefighters were in attendance. There is serious fire damage.<\/p>\n “The clubhouse will be closed for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n “Thanks to all the fire service staff for their work to contain and extinguish the fire.”<\/p>\n DUP<\/a> MLA Deborah Erskine said: “I am devastated to hear the news of a fire at Ballinamallard United FC. This will be of a huge shock not only to those connected to the club but the community and the footballing fraternity across Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n “I am thankful nobody was injured, as this is a very busy Clubhouse at the heart of the community. Tribute to those who were on the scene and to the NI Fire Service.<\/p>\n “I spoke with the Club\u2019s Chairman Tom Elliott to offer my solidarity with the Club. I trust in the future the Clubhouse will once again be brought back to full use.”<\/p>\n For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here<\/a> and sign up to our daily newsletter<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NIFRS sent five appliances to the scene 18:15, 23 May 2026Updated 19:08, 23 May 2026 Ballinamallard FC’s Clubhouse…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":600679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3016,165836,59,57,58,50,5434,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-600678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-co-fermanagh","tag-enniskillen","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-nifrs","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
