Massive fire at industrial estate in Tallaght. The fire broke out in a warehouse in Cookstown around 7pm last night. The preliminary conclusion is that no one was injured.
It was reported that a small amount of smoke first rose from the building and immediately caught fire.

The fire was brought under control after eight units, including two large aerial equipment from the Dublin Fire Brigade, arrived and worked for hours.
The fire brigade had also warned to close the windows and doors of the houses as heavy smoke had spread in the area during the adverse weather.
The visibility of the M50 motorway was affected by the strong smoke spreading for miles following the wind.

However, the cause of the fire is not clear. The fire brigade estimates the damage caused by the fire. Traffic restrictions continued late into the night in the area due to heavy smoke.
