As a result of the incident, four appliances from Limerick City Fire Service, based on Mulgrave Street, were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Gardaí closed off the slipway in the direction of the Crescent Shopping Centre in Dooradoyle and, according to a number of social media users, traffic exiting the slipway via Maldron Hotel was "very heavy".
It is not known how many people were involved in the incident, or if any parties suffered injuries from the fire.
The road later re-opened to traffic.
