"For Cork City Fire Brigade, it'll be emergency call-outs instead of presents and lunch on December 25"
"Thirty Cork City Fire Brigade members will leave their families on Christmas morning and forgo their lunches to ensure it is a safe festive season for others."
"They are part of Ireland's unheralded army of "blue lights heroes" who work unsocial hours this Christmas to protect the public."
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. Those firefighters will remain on duty to respond to emergency call-outs throughout December 25. They operate alongside other emergency responders across Ireland who work unsocial hours during the holidays. The commitment keeps fire crews, ambulance crews, and police ready to handle fires, accidents, and medical emergencies. The crew's presence preserves public safety, rapid response capability, and continuity of essential services on a day when many people celebrate at home. Their sacrifice reflects the personal trade-offs required to maintain emergency cover during major holidays.
