    No one in the house at the time, which is the main thing…

    What would we do without the emergency services and Garda, that are there 24/7 to rescue and help us when we need them……..Well done Lads.

    The problem with the dry weather is every little git with a box of matches can amuse themselves setting fire to gorse bushes, and wreaking havoc.

    I’d say the poor response times of our emergency services didn’t help.

    How do you know how long it took them to respond? There is no mention of arrival time is the article and you can’t use the time they tweeted at as somehow I doubt they were tweeting upon arrival. Probably doing the real job of actually fighting yah fire
