A fire at the Parklands apartment complex in Santry, Dublin, was reported around 7pm as residents returned from work. Witnesses described hearing a loud bang shortly before the fire alarm rang. The scene is secured for investigation as residents evacuated, with some experiencing significant water damage due to emergency efforts to extinguish the fire. One male occupant suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized while no other injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation, as authorities continue to examine the scene.
I heard a loud bang at around seven o'clock, and within two minutes the fire alarm went off. As I left I could see smoke billowing out a smashed window in one of the apartments near the top of the building.
The water was flowing like waterfalls down the inside of the building, it was splashing up to our knees as we went up the stairs.
No other injuries were reported, and the scene remains preserved for forensic examination while investigations are ongoing.
A male, aged in his 30s, was conveyed to Beaumont Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
