Dramatic footage shows van going up in flames in driveway of Cherry Orchard house

This is the moment a van went up in flames in the driveway of a house in west Dublin.

The terrifying incident took place during a Halloween night of mayhem with Dublin Fire Brigade responding to over 150 fires.

The footage shows what is believed to be a van that was set alight in the driveway of a house in the Cherry Orchard area of Ballyfermot.

Shocked onlookers can be seen walking past the blaze.

It is understood the house itself was the target of an arson attack earlier this year and has been boarded up since.

Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene earlier this evening.

They later tweeted: "Van in driveway being extinguished tonight in West Dublin. Fires like these can easily spread to houses & nearby property."
