Also over the weekend, firefighters rushed to the scene of a duplex's electricity supply box on fire in the city centre earlier this weekend. They tweeted: "Obviously never tackle electricity fires with water. In situations like this we will work with @ESBNetworks crews to isolate the supply following the fire."
The brigade warned that its firefighters were already encountering rubbish that had been put aside for Halloween on October 31. It said in a tweet: "This is the time of year that Halloween bonfire material (Yes, the 'H' word!) will start to be gathered by groups and stashed until October. Please dispose of waste responsibly."
