A fire in a storage shed in Mullingar led to an explosion yesterday, with people merrily going about their Bank Holiday Monday having to be evacuated from Fairgreen Shopping Centre. Gardaí are yet to figure out what caused the fire, but don't worry, neither Bressie nor Niall Horan (Bressie currently peeing, Horan in London) were involved or harmed. No one else was either thankfully, with shoppers returning to the centre a few hours later. Still, not everyday there's a mushroom cloud hanging over Mullingar. Well any day that One Direction aren't in town and fangirls don't go nuclear.
