TEN FIREFIGHTERS REMAIN at the scene of the fire that has been burning at an industrial premises in north Dublin since last night.
A large fire was spotted at the premises in the Clonshaugh area last night, with smoke visible from quite a distance away elsewhere in Dublin.
Gardaí and Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene, with up to six fire engines involved in the response at one point.
Dublin Fire Brigade has confirmed that firefighters are now “damping down at the industrial fire”.
The response has been reduced overnight, with two fire engines in place since 2am.
“Crews are using thermal imaging to identify hotspots and small pockets of fire. In total ten firefighters are currently on scene at this stage of the operation,” the fire service said in a statement.
Photographs taken from near the scene yesterday evening showed flames and smoke at the Camfil building in the Clonshaugh Industrial Estate. Camfil is a Swedish company that makes air filtration systems.
Dublin Fire Brigade had advised locals to close their windows and doors as a precaution if they could smell smoke.
There were concerns about whether the smoke would affect flights scheduled at nearby Dublin Airport but the airport confirmed that flights were proceeding as normal.

Something has to done before there’s murder on the dancefloor, but they better not kill the groove!
what next a tax on smiles? If they’re happy enough to dance around the square they should be celebrated
From reading the article it seems the loud music bothering people is more the issue rather that the actual dancing.
Does it actually have anything to do with middle aged women? Sounds more like a noise pollution law.
Exactly. It’s local authorities responding to a large number of complaints made by local residents about loud music.

That’s a huge problem alright, fight the good fight China
We could do with more social interaction for older people here, something we should learn from the Chinese
Mao God….what next?
This is a huge part of Chinese society and has been forever; go to any square in any Chinese City first thing and you’ll see this (and oldies playing badminton). Seems like the ‘New’ China has less tolerance for the old.
