Emergency services have rushed to the scene of a blaze at a petrol station in north Dublin this morning.
The blaze broke out at a petrol station on the Clonshaugh Road in Clonshaugh Swords, opposite the Clayton Hotel. Dublin Live understands that a vehicle went on fire at the popular petrol station, and that Dublin Fire Brigade and gardai rushed to the scene this morning.
Petrol station staff and customers were safely evacuated from the scene. No injuries have been reported, although some damage has been sustained to the outside of the petrol station which also has a Supermacs.
A witness told Dublin Live: "Supermacs is definitely closed, and Circle K will be closed for an hour or two anyway before we clean up. Everyone is fine, no-one was hurt thank God."

"Smoke was visible in the area but the fire has been extinguished." Dublin Live has contacted An Garda Siochana for comment.
