Big thanks to Aer Lingus for the safe delivery of specialist ‘truck-mask’ PPE for our fire appliances.
They will help provide fresh filtered air to the engine and cab.
Remember wash your hands often, stay at home, and maintain a 2 metre distance if you have to go to the shop.

Consistent issue of RTC’s for Luas red line. It’s effectively running the gauntlet between Heuston and Connolly in particular. The current junction layouts are not safe enough. No doubt buildings obscure sight lines. Need to look at speed limits and limiting traffic in general. https://t.co/vWiUooeRxU

We’ve made good progress at the industrial fire in Swords and will be scaling back the response. Units will stay on scene damping down. Smoke was visible over a wide area in clear skies.

Lovely fire engine emojis, in fairness.
Last night.
Dublin Fire Brigade firefighters were called out to 230 incidents between 4pm and 6am.
These included fires at (from top) Malahide, Ballymun, Darndale, Kildare (pic 4 and 5) and Fortunestown.
Greg O’Dwyer, assistant chief fire officer at Dublin Fire Brigade, told Morning Ireland earlier today that there were also 298 ambulance call-outs overnight.
He said this was a decrease in incidents compared to previous years and said no firefighter suffered any injury last night.
However, he said, throughout the city, attempts were made to stop the firefighters from entering some estates.
He said at the entrances to some estates, they found that either cars had been driven into fires or set alight or bonfire material was set alight.
