Dublin Fire Brigade has again been called to the site of the former Crown Paints factory in Coolock in Dublin.
Two units attended the scene along with the Garda Public Order Unit.
The fire was brought under control and was put out.
It comes as Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has called on the Government to establish "a process of engagement and dialogue" with the community in Coolock in the wake of the "violence and destruction" in the area.
Three gardaí were injured and one person was arrested following clashes at a site earmarked for housing asylum seekers in Coolock in Dublin on Friday night.
Of the three gardaí who were injured, one was taken to hospital for treatment for facial injuries.
The public order incident came after a planned public gathering in Coolock passed off peacefully.
But a short time later, the Public Order Unit was deployed as some of the crowd did not disperse.
A fire then broke out at the disused Crown Paints factory but was brought under control by two units of the Dublin Fire Brigade.
It follows a fire at the same site on Thursday night, which gardaí are treating as suspected arson.
Gardaí said the situation on Friday escalated and that officers were subjected to verbal abuse and that rocks, concrete bricks and other objects were thrown at them.
The Garda Public Order Unit, using shields and pepper spray, confronted and cleared people from the Malahide Road.
A man in his 20s was arrested at the scene. He was released without charge this afternoon.
Gardaí said significant disinformation emerged in relation to the events which is continuing to be investigated.
In a statement, An Garda Síochána said all three officers injured on Friday were recovering and a full array of welfare supports had been made available to them.

In an open letter to Taoiseach Simon Harris, Ms McDonald said the incidents at the former Crown Paint factory site are "unacceptable and have rightly been condemned by all".
However, Deputy McDonald said after meeting with "residents and community groups" in the area and hearing their "anger and frustration", she is of the view there has been "no engagement" between the Government and locals regarding the site.
As such, she said "a process of engagement and dialogue" is now needed, and called for this to be established.
'Not being adequately protected'
The Garda Representative Association (GRA) is seeking a meeting with senior Garda management following on Friday night's clashes in Coolock.
The GRA says its frontline officers are not being adequately protected.
Niall Hodgins, GRA Vice President and representative for the Dublin North Central Region said: "Colleagues reported to me the fact that construction workers are not allowed on to that site without a hard hat, the security man that was injured was being dealt with by ambulance personnel who were wearing hard hats, Dublin Fire Brigade were present on the site wearing hard hats, yet the men and women of An Garda Síochána that I represent are sent out on the frontline there with soft hats, with rocks, missiles, fireworks raining down on top of their heads, with no hard hats."
He said he was incredulous to think that "someone somewhere made a decision not to issue gardaí leaving Templemore with riot helmets".
He said concerns had already been raised with the Garda Commissioner in relation to what the GRA said was the late deployment of the Public Order Unit during disturbances on Monday night.
Mr Hodgins said they were still waiting for this meeting with the Commissioner to happen and they would also be raising fresh concerns after last night's events.
'It cannot be tolerated'
In a post on X today, the Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said: "An attack on a member of An Garda Síochána is a serious criminal offence which carries a prison sentence of up to 12 years.
"Sadly, a small minority of individuals are inciting violence and fear in an attempt to divide our communities. It cannot be tolerated.
"Those who engage in criminal acts will be brought to justice.
"I have reiterated to the Garda Commissioner the Government's full support to the gardaí who are doing their job in a very difficult environment.
"I commend them for their response along with members of the fire services," added Ms McEntee.
A Government spokesperson said what happened last night in Coolock was "criminal behaviour" that is designed to "sow division and exploit community concerns".
In a statement to RTÉ News, the Government spokesperson said: "The scenes in Coolock last night were disgraceful. Members of the gardaí doing their jobs were attacked and injured.
"This is not a protest, this is criminal behaviour and an attempt to sow division and exploit community concerns."
On Friday, more than 1,000 people had attended a protest outside the disused building on the Malahide Road in what was described by organisers as a peaceful meeting.
A number of speakers delivered speeches outside the factory.
Crowds also heard from people who claimed they were pepper-sprayed during disturbances in the area on Monday night, while other speakers were critical of Garda Commissioner Drew Harris.
He said there was a big difference between the local community of Coolock and those "looking to sow division, damage social cohesion and generally bring fear and mayhem to an area".
