Part of Tullow St in Carlow town has been closed off to traffic this morning as emergency services deal with a blaze.
It’s understood a car was driven into the front of a building and then subsequently caught fire as did the building- the Tanning Salon close to the Library.
The building was safely evacuated and no injuries have been reported but Gardaí and the Carlow Fire Services are still dealing with the incident.
