Shocking footage has emerged of a raging fire in a quiet north Dublin housing estate.
The video shows two cars blazing outside the suburban house in Clarehall, which also caught fire as the inferno raged.
The house next door also suffered damage in the massive blaze, which saw the Dublin Fire Brigade called to Templeview Green earlier today.
It has since emerged that there were two separate arson attacks - one in Clarehall and an earlier one in nearby Priorswood, when a man is alleged to have set fire to the outside of an apartment block in Newtown Court.
A man has been arrested in connection with both blazes.
