Responders said a strong wind also sent smoke across a wide area.
Firefighters remained at the scene throughout the night to deal with flare-ups.
Meanwhile, an investigation is underway after gardaí were called to a fire at the old Crumlin Shopping Centre.
Onlookers raised the alarm when they saw smoke coming from a number of vacant units shortly after 8pm on Monday.
The fire was brought under control, and there were no reports of injuries.
