Fire in Dublin 1?

BraziliaNZ · 29-03-2010 9:27pm #1

was just cycling home from town, and could see TONNES of smoke coming from what looked like the Jervis St area (I was at custom house). Anyone know what's on fire? Another head shop??

It started in a Dry Cleaners according to news at 11. I wouldn't know the street so means nothing to me , but thats what they are reporting on 98fm

Started at around 9'ish I think, I was passing through and there was one unit of the fire brigade at the scene and it seemed to be under control . . . must have gotten worse since then!

EDIT: Yeah started at 8:50PM.

Gardaí are at the scene of a fire at a launderette on Middle Abbey Street in Dublin city centre.

The fire broke out at about 8.50pm.

There are no reports of any injuries.

AA Roadwatch says that Red Line Luas services were only operating from Tallaght to Smithfield.

Judging by the first pic the brigade are hosing down the roof, the whole buildings probably gutted if the fire reached that high. Shame,hate seeing old buildings like that being damaged.
