Dramatic images as Dublin Fire Brigade battle late night house blaze in Castleknock

These shocking pictures taken by members of Dublin Fire Brigade show a building engulfed in flames.

Brave firefighters were at the scene in Castleknock as a fire ravaged the property late last night.

Traffic diversions were in place as the blaze resulted in thick smoke spreading over the area.

Fortunately, the property was unoccupied at the time of the fire and firefighters managed to put out the fire around midnight.

A post on their Twitter page said: "Castleknock Village - traffic restrictions in place as we deal with a fire in a vacant building.

"Three units are dealing with the fire at present, some smoke is spreading over the locality."

The Dublin Fire Brigade also paid a hilarious homage to Star Wars Day with a picture of their water hose glowing blue.

They added in a follow-up tweet: "We've made good progress at the vacant property fire in Castleknock.

"Our hose lines have also decided to pay homage to #MayTheFourthBeWithYou."
