Firefighters Battling Major Fire At HSE Site In Crooksling On Kildare/Dublin Border

Fire Brigade were called to the scene at 7am this morning.

Seven units of Dublin Fire Brigade are fighting a blaze at a collection of vacant buildings in Brittas, County Dublin.

They were called to the scene at 7am this morning, and operations are still continuing.

A turntable ladder and emergency tender are also present at the site on 'Crooksling', on the Kildare/Dublin border.

Emergency services say there are traffic restrictions on the N81, due to the position of hose lines being used to tackle the fire.


Crooksling was recently the scene of public protests, after rumours spread that a former nursing home in the area was due to be used for accommodating asylum seekers.
