Seven families have lost their homes after a "terrifying" fire broke out at a high-rise apartments complex in Blanchardstown yesterday.
Emergency services were called out to the fire at Falcon's View apartments in Blanchardstown, near the Crowne Plaza Hotel, at around 4.30pm on Sunday. The apartment and hotel were both swiftly evacuated and thankfully no injuries were reported.
Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene with seven units. Two turntable ladders were deployed, with the blaze brought under control quickly. However, some families had to spend the night at hotels because they could not return to their homes last night as their homes were so badly damaged.
