DUBLIN FIRE Brigade launched an appeal earlier today for help in locating two pieces of equipment that were stolen off a fire engine while the fire crew was assisting a cardiac arrest.
The capital's firefighting service took to Twitter to call for help in locating the items.
They were taken while the fire crew attended to an individual who had suffered a cardiac arrest at a pub on Fassaugh Avenue in Dublin.
A picture of the two pieces of equipment was posted alongside the plea which asked, "if you have seen, or know where the equipment is please get in contact."

Earlier this evening, the force shared that both the Holmatro and the other missing machinery were returned.
The equipment was returned to Phibsborough Fire Station, which Dublin Fire Brigade said they were "delighted" about.
Less than 24 hours after being stolen we are delighted to report that both pieces of equipment have been returned to Phibsborough Station. The Holmatro was dropped in by members of a #Cabra sports club. We want to thank everyone involved, especially the Cabra community whom 1/2 pic.twitter.com/kZPr4pL9Dq
