Four firework-related injuries but ‘little anti-social behaviour’ on Halloween night

Dublin Fire Brigade have reported that four people needed to be treated for firework-related injuries on Halloween night in Dublin.

Firefighters and paramedics treated the four people for hand, eye and facial injuries on a night that’s traditionally the busiest of the year for Dublin Fire Brigade.

DFB officers attended a number of bonfires throughout the city but said that most of them ‘required no intervention and our crews have experienced very little anti social behaviour.’
