The parade at the start of each watch's shift is a vital part of the firefighter's day; the crew in Dublin Fire and Rescue's Headquarters prepare for the day ahead, making sure that everything is ready for when the next emergency call comes in.

In the control room, the firefighters are busy taking all kinds of emergency calls from around the Dublin region.

The firefighters work to contain a spreading blaze at a storage facility, a young man is strung out of hallucinogenic drugs, and the jaws of life are needed after a bad accident.

The swift water response team evacuates residents trapped in a flooded apartment complex after torrential rain in Dublin.

Rescuers rush to major truck crash in the city center, firefighters search for missing residents in a smoke-filled building, a beaten elderly man needs medical attention, and a mystery call baffles the firefighters.

The night is thrown into total disarray by a barn fire, a high speed car crash that leaves dozens hurt, a chemical spill and the death of a veteran firefighter.
