EMERGENCY services rushed to a busy Dublin street today after a fire broke out a pub building.
Firefighters from Tara Street and Dolphins Barn stations were called to the fire in the city centre just before 5.30pm.
The fire erupted at the Love Tempo bar, formerly The Clock, this afternoon.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Dublin Fire Brigade wrote: “Breathing apparatus teams extinguished the fire and a turntable ladder was on scene.
“It was the first operational breathing apparatus wear for Recruit firefighter Louise.”
As a result of the blaze, the road was closed for some time as six fire trucks battled the flames.
A Garda spokesperson said in a statement tonight: “Gardai assisted fire services with a fire at a premises on Thomas Street, Dublin 8, this evening, Sunday 2 March 2025.
“No injuries were reported at the time.”
After the blaze, Libertine Market shared an update on social media.
Taking to Instagram, they assured their followers that everyone was fine after the shock incident.
They wrote: “Update: Everyone is out safe and sound from @lovetempodublin.
“No foul play is suspected.
“Our thoughts go out to those affected and all the team at Love Tempo”.
ALARM WARNING
Separately, last month Dublin Fire Brigade issued a major warning after a “malicious” fire alarm event.
They urged people not to set off break glass fire alarms unless absolutely necessary.
Firefighters in Finglas, Co Dublin, rushed to the scene of a supposed fire recently.
But when they arrived, it was revealed to be a false callout due to someone activating the break glass alarm.
All in all, two fire engines and one district officer had attended the scene.
FALSE CALLOUT CONCERNS
Bosses said that a false callout means that if an actual fire occurred, the response would be slower due to firefighters being active elsewhere.
The fire brigade took to social media to tell people about the event and share a stark warning.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, they showed a picture of someone pressing a break glass alarm.
They said: “Firefighters from Finglas, along with a District Officer responded to a malicious activation of a break glass unit in an apartment complex in Finglas.
“In total, two Fire Engines and one District Officer were dispatched to the scene.
“Never press a break glass unit unless you suspect a fire.
“If there was a genuine call in the area whilst we were responding to this, the response time would have been delayed as the next nearest appliance would have been dispatched.”
