Put the kettle down...Dublin Fire Brigade have issued advice to the public as the cold snap continues
As Ireland's cold snap continues, Dublin Fire Brigade have issued safety tips to the public when it comes to defrosting your car.
In a social media post, the fire brigade advised people to do and not do the following;
- Never pour hot water on your windscreen as it may crack.
- Instead use warm water in a zip lock bag and slide it up and down the windscreen.
- Don't forget if your car has led lights they don't give off heat to melt the frost on your head lights and tail lights so do the same with them.
- Ensure all glass is clear from ice so you have full view of what's around you
