Dublin Fire Brigade have requested the help of the public after key items were stolen from them on Sunday night.

While the DFB fire crew were assisting with a cardiac arrest at a pub on Fassaugh Avenue in Cabra, two pieces of equipment were stolen from the fire engine.

Dublin Fire Brigade shared images of what the items look like, or at least closely resemble, on social media.

You are advised to contact Dublin Fire Brigade on 01 222 4000 or email [email protected]

Alternatively, you can contact An Garda Síochána at any Garda Station.

Meanwhile, a high fire risk warning is in effect across Ireland until Wednesday.

Earlier on Sunday, the Finglas branch of Dublin Fire Brigade responded to a grass fire despite rain.

In Wexford, Curracloe Strand was evacuated after fire broke out on the sand dunes.

The nationwide fire warning, which has arisen from preceding drought conditions, remains “in all areas where hazardous fuels exist.”

A Fire Risk condition is likely to be moderated on a localised basis by scattered light rain, cooler temperatures and higher ambient humidity levels in many areas.

Ireland’s agricultural areas as well as eco-systems have suffered greatly at the hand of the recent heatwaves which saw less than 5% rainfall than previously expected for the Irish summer months.
