Thirty Cork City Fire Brigade members will leave their families on Christmas morning and forgo their lunches to ensure a safe festive season for others. They will respond to emergency call-outs instead of opening presents and celebrating at home. These firefighters operate as part of Ireland's unheralded 'blue lights heroes' who work unsocial hours during the holiday period to maintain public safety. Emergency personnel across services cover holidays to handle fires, medical emergencies, and accidents while families celebrate, ensuring continuous protection and rapid response throughout the festive season.
