The ESB is working to restore power to almost 400 homes in West Dublin on Wednesday afternoon after a fire caused a power outage.
The fire struck an ESB box on Blackditch Road, resulting in a loss of power for hundreds of homes in the Ballyfermot area.
The Dublin Fire Brigade has since confirmed that they are on the scene and putting the fire out.
We're on scene at a @ESBNetworks box on fire on Blackditch Road. Two pumps.
