Dublin Fire Brigade battled a blaze in a car park at Killiney Hill on Friday, and last night they were dealing with yet another.
The kindling in both fires? Christmas trees.
Last night’s blaze on Killiney Hill took place at a Christmas tree recycling space – a highly combustible area.
Dublin Fire Brigade shared this photo of the fire last night that was originally posted by @DenzilLacey:

One Twitter user asked DFB whether the fire was set deliberately, to which they replied, “unknown”.
Check out these pics from last week’s similar fire.
