Photos: Aftermath of exploding deodorant can that resulted in patient being treated for burns

A person had to be treated for burns to their body after being injured by a deodorant can which exploded.

The official Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) account on Twitter said that firefighters were called to an explosion in Dublin home last night.

It is believed that a deodorant can came in to contact with a candle over a period of time, causing the can to heat up and explode.

Photographs shared by the DFB show that a window of the bedroom was blown out as result of the explosion.
