It is understood that a luxury SUV, that was parked up, burst into flames. It was located in an outside area and employees quickly moved vehicles in the vicinity of the vehicle ablaze.
There are no reports of any injuries. Traffic is moving as normal on the Ballysimon Road. A passerby told Limerick Live they saw “what looks like a vehicle covered in a huge blanket”.
Firefighters remain at the scene.
