Fire engines and police flood the Belmont Road
The Belmont Blackout
Kickboxing classes in Wilgar street came to a sudden halt tonight and the Belmont area was evacuated as Police, ambulance and Fire engines swarmed in as if it was a war zone. A gas leak at a local Chinese restaurant forced the community to evacuate as power lines were cut to prevent an explosion and warnings given to residents and shop owners to close all windows and doors as carbon monoxide poisoning was also a risk.

It was Scary last night, first up the lights were flickering at the gym , I thought is was me just dizzy and then BLACK OUT ...No idea were I was because there was two giants training next to me ...Then it was LIGHTS OUT pure black!
Heaven or Hell i was totally lost for a minute just thank goodness it was not either one of those monsters kick that landed or lights would have been out for ever!
Outside there were loads of emergency people milling around…it was like a step back in time to the bad old day in Belfast! But hey the authorities got it sorted and all’s well that ends well.
Exciting night at the pro-kick gym
