A veteran Dublin fire fighter has warned actions must be taken to prevent wildfires getting out of hand as their frequency increases due to climate change.
There was severe gorse fire on Killiney Hill this week as well as several other wildfires thanks to the record breaking heatwave. The hottest Dublin temperature ever was recorded during the heatwave and global warming means these extreme weather events are set to be come more frequent.
Dublin Fire Brigade member for 25 years Luke McCann told Dublin Live they got "lucky" with the timing of the fire but warned it is only a matter of time before someone gets "unlucky".
