FOUR FIRE UNITS were dispatched to tackle a blaze in south Dublin last night after a fire broke out at a house in Shankill.

There were no injuries in the fire, and firefighters managed to prevent it from spreading to adjoining properties.

Units from Dun Laoghaire and Donnybrook responded to the blaze.

Three engines and a hydraulic platform were used to bring it under control.
