A man is recovering from serious burns this morning after being electrocuted while trying to retrieve a drone in Dublin.
Firefighters and paramedics attended the scene in Cabinteely Park, after the drone got tangled in electrical wires last night.
1-thousand ESB customers temporarily lost power in the Loughlinstown/Cabinteely area.
Dublin Fire Brigade is reminding people to never attempt to go near ESB cables.

Following a serious incident involving our Network tonight and to assist the Emergency Services, power supply to the #Cabinteely and surrounding areas had to be interrupted for a short period. Apologies.#staysafeStayclear
