    Does anyone know anything about it, the smoke is practically blocking out most of the sky. Can hear an odd explosion as well.

    Hope it's nothing serious. Can't see from where I am as buildings blocking that direction. Hope it's not the airport.

    Our native nomads burn tyres regularly along the M50 near the airport

    massive tyre fires

    Gormley does nothing to stop them yet try lighting a fire in your Garden and see what happens...

    But now you must die.......

    I doubt anyone was in it, the place was locked up and pitch black also no ambulances. Also iirc the last time i was in there they had a big supply of diesel/petrol so that couldve been the explosion.

    I say there will be a big fire in Jap cars too.

    The fire lads seemed to have brought it under control pretty quick, fair play to them !

    The media made a typo I'd say, it wouldn't have been 6 units from tara street, most likely one of the turntable ladder engines that are stationed there attended
