It is understood that another food vender rushed to the scene of the incident and managed to partially put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher.
However, it is believed three people were taken to hospital as a result of burns.
Their condition is not known at present.
The food van was taken away from the scene to be examined to determine the cause of the fire.
Local eye-witnesses are reported to have heard an explosion-type noise just before the chip van went ablaze.
The Health and Safety Authority has been notified of the incident.
