A man has electrocuted himself after trying to untangle his drone from overhead wires in a park in Dublin.
Around a thousand buildings in the area lost power when it happened in Cabinteely last night.
Firefighters and paramedics from Dún Laoghaire responded to the incident yesterday afternoon in south Dublin.
The drone operator is being treated for serious burns.
