Footage shows terrifying moment van goes up in flames in driveway in Cherry Orchard, Co Dublin

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

The shocking incident happened on 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 in West Dublin.

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 Live reports.

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.”
