Dublin Fire Brigade

Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB; ) is the fire and rescue service and ambulance service for County Dublin, including Dublin city, in Ireland. It is a local authority service, operated by Dublin City Council on behalf of that council and those of Fingal, Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and South Dublin. There are currently 14 fire stations staffed by DFB, 12 of which are full-time, the other 2 are "retained" (they work on a pager system, with staff having between 5 and 7 minutes to attend the station in the event of a call) and operate on call 24/7 365 days a year with up to 500 calls per year. Full-time stations are staffed by shifts across 4 watches (A, B, C & D). There are currently over 963 active firefighter/paramedic personnel making it by far the largest fire service based on personnel and resources in Ireland. Provided by Wikipedia
