LAST UPDATE | 13 Oct 2023
A CAR PARK fire off of Jervis Street in Dublin City has been brought under control by the Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) after services responded to the scene earlier this evening.
Red line Luas services have also resumed, with significant delays, after the fire service had to close access to Jervis Street for fire operations.
“The fire has now been brought under control and we have started to release fire engines from the scene,” DFB said on X, formerly Twitter, this evening.
“Red line passengers please be advised that a full service is now operating on the line, Point to Tallaght /Saggart with severe delays following an earlier disruption at Jervis,” the service said on X.
According to a post from Dublin Fire Brigade on X, the fire took place inside a car park off of Jervis Street in the city centre.
“Smoke is visible in the area but firefighters in breathing apparatus are on scene dealing with the incident,” the service posted online.

Jervis Street was closed to allow the fire service carry out its operations.
Luas Red Line services are paused earlier, with all services between Smithfield and The Point cancelled, it said on X.
“This is due to a non Luas related incident at Jervis. We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” it added.

It is understood a tram, that was close to the incident, had to be evacuated earlier.

Great comment there..Mr/Mrs anonymous account. Please list 5 major car park fires caused by ICE vehicles in the last 5 years. I can give you 3 major EV fires in the last five weeks and a ferry fire that sank the ferry and its cargo of toxic batteries in to the sea. Give me a break, EV’s and BEV’s are a total joke and dangerous. Go an watch an EV explode multiple times after crashing. Catch yourself on there, use the internet and look at the pro’s and cons.
@calum Tierney: I really hope that poor chap finds his father someday
@calum Tierney: HFCV says…. hold my drink….
@calum Tierney:
EV’s – Cars for the gullible.
@calum Tierney: didn’t a car park burn down in liverpool a couple of years ago because of a ICE Land Rover?
The amount of Diesel and petrol cars catching fire lately is shockingly scary.
@Dave F Sov:
Yes, you take your life in your hands parking next to an EV ;))
Lol… You’re still pi$$ed off since I pointed out you write like a 10 year old ! Learn a bit of basic grammar before you comment on anyone’s intelligence. I’m embarrassed for you.
@Dave F Sov: diesel is far safer, will not ignite by impact sparks or flames, until very high temperatures.
Diesel fuel can’t melt steel beams.
Just as well they’d never let you build an underground car park under the world’s most expensive children’s hospital.
Imagine coming back from a meal or a trip to the cinema and realising you were parked next to the original car that caught fire, and your car was burned also…
@James K.: or imagine it was your car that started the fire and ringing around for insurance quotes at the next renewal. ‘Have you ever had any claims or accidents’?? Ohhhh ehhhh ahhhhh just 1.
@Ron Burgundy: Imagine all the people.
Somebody wants to spread anarchy.
Whatever we might have done in the past so be it, can’t turn back the clock. Europeans need to grow a pair. Those who want a revolution have no idea what to do after.
So we are where we are.
And will stay there until what I dont know anymore ..
Another car park fire!!!!
@Pato:
EV’s, mobile incendiary devices.
@Regular John: source: trust me bro
@Martin Mongan: Ha Ha, I like that one, might have to use that myself.
have your say
