Regardless of training or equipment or anything else, it must take incredible bravery to enter a burning building. Well done
Yeah it’s great alright. All home safe after a job like that. Fantastic skill required.
Off topic. But Was expecting to read Garda hospitalised after entering burning building. Leave it to the pros.
Was in St Vincent’s A&E when the woman was brought in. Not only are the fire fighters brave as already commented on. But the ambulance crew showed such kindness, sympathy and were so caring for her that all I could think was these are the guys that should be running the HSE ambulance service and not the proposed other way round
The HSE ambulance crews are just as good as the DFB ones. The issue at the moment is about management not crews.
Well done though on the rescue.
Saw the smoke from my house in Ranelagh still burning at 11 this morning
