Two vacant buildings in South County Dublin erupted in flames this evening, prompting a swift response from emergency services. The Dublin Fire Brigade is currently tackling these separate incidents, showcasing their ability to handle multiple emergencies simultaneously.
In Ballyboden, a significant blaze has drawn a large response, with five fire engines and a specialized turntable ladder on the scene. Meanwhile, firefighters are also battling flames at a derelict building near Ticknock, in the Dublin Mountains foothills, with three engines deployed.
According to The Journal, the fires have created a potentially hazardous situation for nearby residents and motorists. Smoke from both incidents is drifting across the M50, Dublin’s busy orbital motorway. As a precautionary measure, local inhabitants are urged to keep their windows and doors closed to avoid smoke inhalation.
While the cause of the fires remains unknown, the incident highlights the potential dangers posed by unoccupied structures and the importance of Dublin’s emergency services in protecting the community.
