I've just found out that the first programme in this series is on tonight on the Watch channel - Sky 109, Virgin 124.
The brief description in my programme guide simply says: "New Series Firefighters 1 of 8 Following members of the Dublin Fire and Rescue." So it's not clear if the eight programmes are about Dublin only or if they will be visiting other F&RSs.

It seems from the credits at the end of the programme that the whole series is about the Dublin F&RS.

A much nicer city than London, Johnnie. I think I may watch it, not least as I will be spending the next week in the Republic.

In Dublin?! No, a straightforward look at the work of a city F&RS/Ambulance Service. Quite a lengthy look at a water rescue job which turned out to be a discarded jacket floating on rubbish, fire in a disused social club and several ambulance runs.

Almostthere, all parts of Ireland are an attraction to me. Indeed, I and she who must obey me had chips from Jimmy's fish and chip shop in Nase, County Kildare after a good night out on Thursday. Dont tell Bishops, or I might be kneecapped when I next visit them. However, they will get their turn during 4 nights in the Province in May.

Naas. We have moved on from kneecappings Dotty. All the arms were buried in concrete. Nowadays you get the Black and Decker with a 6mm bit treatment.
