Emergency services had one of the busiest nights of the year on Halloween last night.

In Dublin alone, fire fighters responded to around 250 call outs.

The hashtag 'DFBlive' was trending on twitter after Dublin fire brigade decided to live tweet their movements for the first time ever.

By early evening, 86 incidents had been recorded, with around 250 by the end of the night.

Some of the bigger call outs in the capital included a house fire in Clongriffin, which may have been caused by fireworks, and a car driven onto a bonfire in Dolphin's Barn.

Fire crews in the west attended three bonfires while, in Munster, fire crews attended four bonfires across Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford city.
