THE MOBILISATION OFFICER from Dublin Fire Brigade has confirmed to TheJournal.ie that they responded to calls of a pungent smell in the area of Eastpoint Business Park at 8.30am this morning.
The business park, located in Dublin 3, near Dublin’s docklands, was attended by four regular units of Dublin Fire Brigade, as well as command and chemical support units, arriving on the scene at 8.45am.
Having evacuated the area and located an ammonia leak, the officer reported that operations were being stood down.
