Dublin Fire Brigade has issued a warning as this week's good weather risks causing more household fires.
They are urging the public to keep vanity mirrors, crystals and glasses out of direct sunlight as they can easily start burning.
They also reminded the public that as the sun moves throughout the day, it causes burning to spread.
Posting a picture of a scorch mark on a door, Dublin Fire Brigade said: "Keep vanity mirrors, crystals and glasses out of direct sunlight.
"Remember that the sun moves through the sky over the course of the day.
"A near miss here, see how the scorch mark continues in a line as the sun moved.
"A smell of burning alerted the owner to a problem."
