PICS: This Dublin Fire Engine Was Attacked With Rocks When Attending An Emergency Last Night

A Dublin Fire Brigade unit was forced to leave the scene of a fire last night after their vehicle was bombarded with rocks.

The attack took place in Tallaght, where a group of youths reportedly pelted the vehicle with stones, smashing a window and causing the truck to be out of service for three hours.

Take a look at the damage below.
