A lorry transporting a significant number of hens caught fire near Moy, County Tyrone, on Sunday evening. The incident occurred along the Benburb Road, causing alarm among locals as a loud bang was heard before the vehicle became engulfed in flames.

Witnesses reported seeing thick plumes of smoke rising into the sky, visible from miles away. Many described the distressing sight of hens desperately leaping from the burning transporter in a bid to escape the fire.

Emergency services were quickly alerted, and the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service was dispatched to the scene to control the blaze and prevent further escalation.

As of now, the cause of the fire remains unclear, and authorities are working to gather more information. This is a developing situation, and updates will be provided as further details emerge.
