Another Halloween has been and gone and the people of the city have a lot to thank Dublin Fire Brigade for.
The team was out in force last night putting out fires all over Dublin and the extent of their stellar work can be seen in this interactive map which allowed users to follow DFB throughout the evening. In it, it can be seen that pretty much every area of the city was affected, with notes including 'bins being kidnapped and burned on bonfires', 'fire in playground' and 'sofa on fire in open area.'
