An important warning has been issued advising Dubliners to not light fires or barbecues in public spaces this Summer.
It was released by the National Parks and Wildlife Service earlier today as they confirmed they have increased the number of ground crews on fire patrol. They have also ramped up aerial monitoring with helicopters and drones.
Fires put the public as well as wildlife at high risk during the warmer months. The NPWS are urging the public to help ensure that any fire activity is reported.
