Dublin’s Emergency Services Were Insanely Busy Yesterday With Nearly 400 Calls

Alana Laverty

Last night was absolutely mental for Dublin’s emergency services. 

With nearly 400 calls made to emergency services throughout the 24-hours on Saturday – between 250 and 300 of those calls were made last night alone. 

Four units of Dublin Fire Brigade brought a fire at a school in Tallaght under control last night. 

No serious injuries were reported, thankfully. 

According to the Journal.ie, a spokesperson for Dublin Fire Brigade said that last night “was one of the busiest nights of the year – an absolute logistical nightmare”. 

Thank God we have these invaluable services available to us and that they are able to work under extreme pressures, like those of last night.
