Man seriously injured in Dublin house fire

Five Dublin Fire Brigade units tackled the blaze in Milltown.

LAST UPDATE | 16 Nov 2018

A MAN HAS been seriously injured in a fire in south Dublin. 

A fire broke out at a house in Milltown at around 7am. 

Dublin Fire Brigade sent five fire engines and crew members to the scene to tackle the blaze, which was brought under control. 

Two men, both in their 40s, were taken to hospital. One sustained serious injuries and the other sustained minor injuries.

A technical examination of the scene is due to take place today, however the cause of the fire is not believed to be suspicious at this time.

According to AA Roadwatch, the fire caused “extremely heavy traffic” to build up on the Milltown Road this morning, but the road has since reopened.

    Trump looking to promote publicity for yet another family member.

    He’s a conflict of interest in literally everything he does and it’s all financially motivated. This sort of stuff was unheard of a few years ago but he’s normalised it.

    Let’s be clear,
    ITS ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOUR FOR A PRESIDENT

    @Tarquin Donovan:

    President Donald Trump and his allies have called his win a “landslide” and “blowout.” From their telling, Trump’s “sweeping,” “historic” victory has given MAGA a “powerful mandate” to govern.

    Some commentators have pushed back, noting, for instance, that Trump’s 1.5 percent popular vote victory is one of the smallest ever — just a fraction of Lyndon B. Johnson’s 22.6 percent landslide win in 1964. Trump failed to secure a majority of the popular vote, at 49.7 percent, unlike George W. Bush in 2004 (50.3 percent), Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 (52.9 percent and 51 percent) and Joe Biden in 2020 (51.3)

    Fake news, he never got shot. It was all a setup with fake red blood. Anything for votes.
    Spot on, that is exactly how Trump portrays news on so-called truth social media.
    Sadly, we are witnessing the Hitler of our time.
    He has an agenda, much of it needed by way of reform of a fxxed up dying empire.
    But he is a malignant lier, with not one thought beyond personal enrichment.
