Firefighters are assessing the damage to a Belfast city centre hotel after a fire ripped through a popular rooftop bar on the premises.
The blaze centred around Babel rooftop bar, part of the Bullitt Hotel complex on Church Lane. The road around the hotel had been closed while several fire crews were deployed from across the city.
Pictures showed smoke billowing from the terrace and engulfing side streets with thick smoke before it was brought under control with aerial appliances used to pour water on it from above.
