Dublin fire brigade tackled a gorse fire in Howth on Saturday.
3 pumps and a water tanker are currently at #Howth fighting the gorse fires. Take care out in the countryside this weekend. It’s VERY dry!

Nope, #Howth this evening. Units continue to extinguish gorse fires in the area. Please help prevent these fires being repeated in the usual areas this summer. BBQs, cigarettes, arson and land burns are all common causes of these #gorse fires. pic.twitter.com/6sYD3YeFzs
