The owner of renewable energy company which was at the centre of a major fire in Derry at the weekend says it could cost him up to half a million pounds to get his business back to full capacity. A large shed which contained 600 tonnes of wood chips went on fire at John Gilliland's farm on the Culmore Road on Saturday. It took two and a half days to put out. Mr Gilliland says they suspect it was caused by a tractor battery. He has been speaking to Amanda Williams.
