A spokesperson for Dublin Fire Brigade wrote on social media: "Firefighters have extinguished a gorse wildfire on Killiney Hill tonight, two fire engines attended the incident
"Crews also remain at the separate Mullins Hill site monitoring the location."
The original fire broke out on the Killiney Hill area of south Dublin on Monday evening, sending plumes of smoke into the sky that were visible across the city.
Dublin Fire Brigade crews worked tirelessly into the early hours of Tuesday morning to bring the fire under control and managed to extinguish it before any residential damage was done.
Seven pumps and two tankers were working at the scene overnight as crews focused on two areas to protect houses on Glenaula Road and Ballinclea Heights.
Two members of the Dublin Fire Brigade who were fighting the blaze were taken to hospital by ambulance for minor injuries but no residents were hurt it has been confirmed.
Forest fires have raged across Europe in the last month or so as temperatures skyrocketed and gorse and forests went up in flames.
