Firefighters

A fresh batch of 25 new recruits begins the arduous training process to become fully fledged members of Dublin Fire and Rescue.

The 25 recruits face the most demanding part of their programme to date as they undertake the first day of their breathing apparatus training.

Multiple crews respond to reports of an explosion in a ghost estate which is ripping through a row of terraced houses.

At the training centre, the heat is on for the recruits when their instruction steps up to a whole new level of intensity.

The firefighters are called into action when a large fire breaks out in west Dublin. And it's another busy shift for the Advanced Paramedics.

One of Dublin's newest emergency responders is joined on the ambulances by the man who wears badge number one, the longest serving firefighter.
