These Dublin Fire Brigade Photos Prove Phone Chargers And Beds Don’t Mix

Hot on the heels of the most excellent and informative Garda Twitter account today, we share with you some excellent advice, and terrifying pictures, from the Dublin Fire Brigade. 

The tweets below show the damage caused by one phone being left on a bed to charge. We’ve probably all done something like that before without even thinking, but my own behaviour will certainly change after seeing this. 

Listen to their advice…
