Both fires were extinguished quickly and there was no fire spread to other areas.

Speaking about the fires, Dublin Fire Brigade said: “Thanks to the passing motorist who alerted us to the first fire. Never assume someone else had called 999/112. If you see an emergency, call us.

Speaking with Echo.ie today, a Garda source said that gardai at Tallaght are currently investigating both blazes.

The source said: “We are investigating the fires and are currently awaiting forensics.

“We cannot confirm at this stage if the fires were malicious or accidental.”
