According to DFB, the fire was located behind the exterior cladding of a wall.
A turntable ladder, which can extend to 100ft, was used to help firerfighters contain and extinguish the fire.
No injuries were reported.
It’s the second time in less than week that DFB attended a fire at the apartment complex after they were called to an incident last Friday night in which a mother had to be taken to hospital.
A Garda investigation into that incident is underway, and anyone with information is asked to call Tallaght Garda station on 01-6666000.
