Velik broj vatrogasaca borio se u srijedu navečer s vatrenom stihijom u elitnom dijelu Dublina, četvrti Ballymun, poznatoj po poslovnim neboderima i stambenim kompleksima.
Vatra je izbila u Metro Hotelu, navodno u sobi na 13. katu, a otamo se proširila i obuhvatila najmanje pet etaža.
U zgradi je u trenutku izbijanja vatre bilo oko 150 ljudi i svi su, prema dosadašnjim informacijama, evakuirani te zasad nema podataka o ozlijeđenima.
Promet oko hotela bio je blokiran.
