Dublin Fire Brigade fought yet another electricity pole fire yesterday as the new trend of igniting fires at poles and pylons continues.
Firefighters in Portmarnock on Tuesday battled a similar fire close to an electricity pylon, which had the potential to do severe damage to the pylon and a nearby golf clubhouse.
And yesterday Dublin Fire Brigade were called again after another fire destroyed a light pole in Kilbarrack.
They said: "Yesterday evening, firefighters extinguished a fire set at the base of a public lighting pole.
"The internals of the pole were destroyed as a result of the fire leaving the light out of order.
"Dublin City Council public lighting have since made the pole safe."
