It was a busy weekend for the brave crew of the Dublin Fire Brigade, as they rushed to the scene of furniture on fire Dublin.
Taking to social media, Dublin Fire Brigade confirmed that firefighters extinguished furniture set alight on a green area in Dun Laoghaire yesterday. Several pieces of furniture were alight, but fortunately firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control.
