Here is the scene at a Dublin scrapyard as up to 40 cars went up in a flames.
A huge cloud of smoke could be seen across the city as firefighters tackled the blaze in Ballymun on Saturday afternoon.
Dublin Fire Brigade confirmed five engines and a water tanker were at the scene of the fire at a site just off junction 4 of the M50.
A warning was issued to locals in the area to ensure their windows remain closed.
Motorists were also advised that vision on the M50 in the area close to the fire may be impaired.
A spokesman for the fire brigade said that they have been receiving a large number of 999 calls due to the fact the blaze can be seen "city wide".
However after several hours of battling the inferno, firefighters have managed to get the blaze under control.
A spokesman said on Twitter: "We've finished on scene at the Ballymun fire.
"6 units attended at the height of the fire.
"A single car fire releases megawatts of heat energy. A fire involving multiple cars densely packed is particularly challenging to fight."
They added that the cause of the fire is currently being investigated by gardai.
