Tipperary fire services were called to 280 house fires in the county in 2021, according to Government figures.
Chimney fires and hot ashes, electrical issues, cooking and heating appliances, and smoking materials were all primary causes of these accidents.
Tipperary people are being urged to check their fire alarms in the run-up to the fetsive season.

This is according to a new survey from Peopl.ie, a nationwide provider of home and life insurance.
