Householders warned after Dublin Fire Brigade attend kitchen blaze believed to have started in dishwasher

Householders across Dublin have once again been warned to be wary of leaving appliances on when in bed or gone out.

The warning comes from Dublin Fire Brigade after a kitchen fire which appears to have originated in a dishwasher.

It's not the first time DFB have issued a warning about dishwasher fires - back in April, they also responded to a blaze that originated in a similar fashion.

They have also reminded people to ensure they have a working smoke or heat alarm in their home that will alert them in the event of a fire.

Dublin Fire Brigade said: "Firefighters from Swords and Kilbarrack fought a kitchen fire yesterday which appears to have originated in a dishwasher.

"Faults can occur so it is wise not to use the dishwasher when you go out or go to bed. A working smoke or heat alarm will alert you in the event of a fire."
