A number of cars were damaged in a fire at a motor garage which broke out on Tuesday night.
Dublin Fire Brigade launched a major operation following the outbreak of a fire at Dean Motors located in an industrial estate Ballycoolin, north-west Dublin
Six fire units were scrambled, including a turntable and foam tender. Gardaí also rushed to the scene. The blaze broke out at around 11pm.
The cause or exact location of the blaze was not immediately clear.
The fire brigade posted pictures of a building beside a carpark engulfed by flames with large plumes of smoke coming from the roof and doors.
Residents in the area were warned to close their windows due to smoke and fumes being spread in windy conditions.
An image of the premises appeared to be commercial and was identified on social media as a well known car and motoring business, but this was not immediately verifiable.
In a statement gardai said: “ Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of a fire at an industrial unit in Ballycoolin , Dublin 15, yesterday evening, Tuesday.” No-one was injured in the fire.
The scene remains sealed off to allow for garda forensic teams and fire men to examine the area.
