Dublin Airport Authority issued a statement on Sunday morning, which read: “Our fire service extinguished a small fire in a ground power unit shortly after 6am this morning. Dry powder was used and this creates additional smoke making it appear more dramatic.
“Nobody was injured, and no aircraft were damaged. Two flights were delayed by about 30 minutes, but otherwise the incident had no impact on operations at the airport.”
