Dublin Fire Brigade are warning the masses of the dangers of Christmas lights on their Twitter page.
They are hoping to highlight the danger of using faulty lights, over wiring and having lights outside.
Check that the wiring on your Christmas tree lights are not worn or frayed. Make sure the insulation is in good order. #DFB12Days pic.twitter.com/BnG7N86r4S
