A woman who was attending Mass in St Brigid's Church said she heard a bang at about 11.20am.
She told KildareNow: "We came out of Mass, and black smoke was pouring up from St Brigid's Primary School car park.
"But we could not see any more as the CYMS building was blocking our view."
She added: "In the 10 to 15 minutes we were standing outside the Church, two fire engines and a water tanker arrived."
