Fire safety isn't just about one single action, it's a combination of smart habits, working equipment, and a solid plan. To keep your home and family safe from fire hazards, keep this A-R-G-E-N-T-I-N-A checklist in mind:
Firefighter/Paramedics from Kibarrack station are attending an area of grass on fire on Howth Head.

Tight squeeze for Firefighter/Paramedics from Dun Laoghaire station tonight as they responded to a fire. Please be mindful of where you park, never block an emergency exit or park on double yellow lines.
Yesterday morning, we responded to an overturned van on the #M50. If you are passing a road traffic collision, please pay attention to the road ahead.
An Irish Coast Guard rescue helicopter landed at our training centre in #Marino on an HEMS call earlier today. Firefighter/Paramedics were on standby along with the National Ambulance Service.
Firefighter/Paramedics from Kilbarrack recently attended a gorse fire #Portmarnock recently. Water supplies were augmented from the golf course irrigation system.
A closed door is the most effective way of stopping the rapid spread of smoke and fire in your home. Despite it being a warm night we strongly recommend that you keep the doors in your home closed tonight when you go to bed.
We are responding to a road traffic collision on the Long Mile Road. The Luas line is temporarily blocked.
Have you tested your smoke alarm lately? We recommend testing them once a week and you should have one installed per floor of your home.

We are deeply saddened on the sudden passing of our beloved colleague and friend Dan Fitzgerald. Dan joined Dublin Fire Brigade in 1989 and proudly served with distinction, holding the rank of Senior Executive Fire Prevention Officer.
