Dublin Fire Brigade has shared a stark reminder about the safety regarding phone chargers.
"An alert neighbour spotted a fire in a nearby house and called 999. A phone charger was on fire and thanks to the neighbour the fire was extinguished by firefighters before it was able to spread," they said on X, formerly known as Twitter, alongside a picture of the incident.
"Every household now has devices with Li-ion or Li-po batteries that need recharging. In the vast majority of cases this will cause no issues, but you should charge safely," Dublin Fire Brigade said.
"Safely charging your technology such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, e-cigarettes and other small battery operated devices can prevent a fire in your home or office."
