“Instead of looking at a green, we are looking at something that’s almost completely black, which isn’t nice to look at in summer. “There is so much damage being done to green areas. “If we are trying to save the environment, there should be no bonfires,” he said. Mr Shine also highlighted the harmful impact of bonfires on the environment. We have had people who have suffered as a result of having bricks or stones thrown at them.” “There is the potential of being stoned or assaulted at these calls. Mark Judge’s Out-of-Print Memoir, Wasted, Gets Digitized and Put Online, Courtesy of The Boston Public Library (Open Culture, Oct 5, 2018) Image by Quinn Dombrowski, via Flickr CommonsDuring the past week, many people have been trying to get their hands on a copy of Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk, the out-of-print memoir written by Mark. “It can get quite nasty at these events,” he said.

He spoke of why these types of calls are putting firefighters at risk. “As far as they’re concerned, this is a free way of getting rid of their rubbish.” “Some people choose to not go to the dump because they know they will be charged,” he said. He explained why he believes the practice of starting bonfires continues to be an issue in Cork City. However, Mr Shine said that emergency services were called to the scene of a dangerous bonfire in the Cork City area as recently as this week. He was speaking in the run-up to Bonfire Night, which is also referred to as ‘Bonna Night’ in Cork and is celebrated on June 23.įestivities normally involve communities burning bonfires across the city to mark an old pagan Celtic celebration in honour of the goddess Áine. The frontline worker said firefighters have been assaulted in recent years at some similar calls. He added that conflict is often an issue for emergency service personnel attempting to contain fires. Mr Shine said the smoke from these fires is particularly toxic, and can result in significant risk for locals with respiratory issues and other health issues. We are seeing people throw in spray cans and deodorant and items that should never be added to a bonfire.” 'We have seen fridge freezers, microwaves, and even washing machines being burned in bonfires. There is a lot of furniture, but we have seen other items added too. “When emergency services have to attend these calls, it takes from the resources. “In these fires, there is a lot of domestic waste,” he said. Second Officer at Cork City Fire Brigade Victor Shine said crews have attended recent calls with dangerous bonfires that have included everything from fridges to washing machines.

A local firefighter has warned that bonfires involving white goods and household waste are resulting in increased callouts for city firefighters and pose a health hazard to the public.
