Dublin Fire Brigade is asking the public to be especially careful around green areas, as there is still a risk of wildfires with an orange fire warning remaining in place until Monday.
Firefighters say that despite recent rain, vegetation fires are still occurring and fire fuels such as grass can dry out very quickly.
