A suspected overheating charger caused a resident's room to go up in flames in South Dublin.
Firefighters have warned people not to leave devices charging on beds after the tablet was left plugged in under a pillow.
Pictures show the huge damaged caused to the box room while the Dublin Fire Brigade say it could have been much worse had the door not been closed.
They said: "Firefighters fought a fire in a box-bedroom in South Dublin this week.
"The most likely cause was a phone or tablet left charging under the pillow of the bed. A closed door stopped the spread of fire to the rest of the house.
"Never ever charge devices on a bed or under bedding."
