The aftermath of a cooking oil fire...

🍳 Never leave a chip pan, frying pan or wok full of oil unattended

🔥 If it should catch fire, use a fire blanket or damp tea towel

🚫 Never throw water on it

Are you using an electric space heater to help warm your home?

Ensure that it is placed well away from anything flammable, including clothes.

If the heater blows hot air be mindful what direction the air is blowing.

Heaters should be plugged directly in to a wall socket.

[Dublin Fire Brigade @DubFireBrigade]

With this week's colder evenings it is tempting to light an open fire or stove. Only use them if you are sure the chimney is clear. If it hasn't been used in a while, it could be blocked or clogged.

We have advice on the safe use of open fires and stoves https://t.co/eRzJn2OOUO
