Actor Henry Winkler has praised Irish firefighters after a blaze at his hotel led to him being unexpectedly evacuated from his room.<\/p>\n

A selfie shared by the 78-year-old Happy Days star on X, which showed him smiling alongside three firemen from Dublin Fire Brigade, quickly went viral.<\/p>\n

Winkler wrote alongside the photo: “Dublin’s finest does a great job when our hotel is evacuated on our first morning!”<\/p>\n

He’s best known for playing cool motorcycle rider Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli on the hit American sitcom, which was set in the 1950s, but filmed in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n

The Emmy-winner is also known for other comedy roles including playing acting teacher Gene Cousineau in the hitman series Barry and Barry Zuckerkorn in Arrested Development.<\/p>\n

The actor was staying at the Shelbourne Hotel when he was evacuated alongside other guests early on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

He told local journalists he was initially confused about what the early morning disturbance could be.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“And finally, I went into another room and it was still buzzing. So, I called downstairs, and the woman said in a very calm voice ‘Yes, we’re all evacuating, you must evacuate right now’ and I left.”<\/p>\n

When asked about thanking the emergency services, Winkler said: “You know what, how wonderful are firemen? Some of my favourite human beings, firemen and firewomen.<\/p>\n

“They run in when other people are running out.<\/p>\n

“I think they deserve to [have their hands] shook.”<\/p>\n

Dublin Fire Brigade said the evacuation “helped enormously”.<\/p>\n

The five-star hotel on St Stephen’s Green saw six fire engines, including a turntable ladder and emergency tender, attend the scene. Guests were allowed to return later the same day.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
