actor Henry ‘the Fonz’ Winkler was among the guests forced to evacuate Dublin's Shelbourne Hotel after a fire broke out this morning.Dublin Fire Brigade were quick to evacuate staff and guests – including Emmy Award winner Henry Winkler .He told reporters he arrived at the hotel last night ahead of his performance in the National Concert Hall tonight.“When I heard the fire alarm, I thought it was the clock radio – I thought somebody had set the alarm before we got there, like another guest.
“Finally, I went into another room, and it was still buzzing so I called downstairs, and a woman said in a very calm voice, ‘Yes, we're all evacuating, you must evacuate right now' and I left."Winkler was seen thanking members of the Dublin Fire Brigade after evacuating and said firefighters are “some of favourite] human beings”.“They run in when other people are running out – I think they deserve their hands shook.”“I cannot wait to see the rest of Dublin,” he said.
Dublin Fire Brigade District Officer Colm Kershaw said the fire was confined to one room and there was “minimum damage” on the floor.
