A MAN HAS been treated for smoke inhalation after a fire, which may have been sparked by a fault in a television, broke out at an apartment in Dublin’s city centre.
The fire started on Pembroke Street and a number of units from Dublin Fire Brigade attended as well as an ambulance. It is thought that the fire was may have been started by an electrical appliance in the apartment – most likely the TV.
A spokesperson for Dublin Fire Brigade said people would be “surprised” at how often television can be the cause of fires.
“That’s why we recommend people unplug their TVs when going to bed at night, and other electrical appliances,” they said.
No serious injuries were reported at the scene and the fire, which was confined to one room in the apartment, has now been extinguished.
