FOUR UNITS OF Dublin Fire Brigade were called to respond to a major blaze at a derelict house close to the M50 in the south of the county last night.
The alarm was raised shortly after 9pm, as a fire was reported on Brennanstown Road in the suburb of Cabinteely.
Units from Dolphin’s Barn, Dun Laoghaire, Donnybrook and Tallaght all attended the scene, along with gardaí.
The fire service detailed its response to the blaze on social media, posting some arresting pictures on Twitter.
A garda spokesperson said there had been no injuries, and that an investigation was under way.

No one in the house at the time, which is the main thing…
What would we do without the emergency services and Garda, that are there 24/7 to rescue and help us when we need them……..Well done Lads.
The problem with the dry weather is every little git with a box of matches can amuse themselves setting fire to gorse bushes, and wreaking havoc.
I’d say the poor response times of our emergency services didn’t help.
Vile stupid comment eric. Bet you don’t have the b***s to do such a job
How do you know how long it took them to respond? There is no mention of arrival time is the article and you can’t use the time they tweeted at as somehow I doubt they were tweeting upon arrival. Probably doing the real job of actually fighting yah fire
No one asked you Eric, troll
Saw 3 fire tenders and a turntable tender speeding through Deansgrange last night.
have your say
