Dublin Fire Brigade is urging people to stay safe this Halloween.
It's asking people to keep their distance from bonfires and to avoid fireworks.
Firefighters deal with around 800 calls in Dublin every Halloween - with many children unaware of just how dangerous bonfires and fire-works can be.
Today we're launching our #Halloween safety campaign with @LordMayorDublin @DubCityCouncil in HQ. Have fun, enjoy yourself & be safe #fire pic.twitter.com/ognhuh5Pat
