Up to seven Kildare Fire Service vehicles were at the scene and dealt with the incident from Church Lane, which connects Corbans Lane with South Main Street. The vehicles deployed included two fire tenders and a water tanker.

Church Lane is a one way route and it is currently closed off by gardaí to pedestrians as well as vehicles.

Also closed off is a section of the thoroughfare that normally accommodates the taxi rank, just off South Main Street.

A number of firefighters are at the scene, which is close to Naas Presbyterian Church and just across the street from the Naas Library & Cultural Centre.

It is understood that it started roughly between 11am and noon and nobody was injured as a result of the incident.
