Police assisted the fire service in dealing with the blaze.

The PSNI said that “calm has now been restored” but that it had dealt with “small localised disorder caused by a small group of people” in the Markets, New Lodge and North Queen Street areas.

On Twitter, the PSNI also “thanked those in affected communities who helped settle tensions”.
