It is always sad to lose someone, especially a valued member of the team.

Our sincere condolences go out to our colleagues in Cork North and East Civil Defence and most importantly to Eric’s family and friends at this difficult time.

May he rest in peace. 🕯️

Busy as always!

Last night, members of the Dun Laoghaire Unit were on duty providing Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) cover at Tallaght Stadium alongside our colleagues from Dublin Civil Defence Dublin Civil Defence Nutgrove AFS Unit

Working together to provide a professional emergency response capability at major events is just one of the many roles our volunteers undertake. A big thank you to everyone who gave up their evening to ensure the safety of those attending.

Today, one of our unit EMTs, Declan, demonstrated the professionalism, commitment, and dedication consistently shown by our volunteers.

While providing medical cover for a swim event in Dún Laoghaire as part of the Boat unit, Declan responded to an incident at the water’s edge on the rocks below the harbour wall. The team was alerted by ground personnel supporting them and Declan, acting as medical lead, disembarked from the vessel and proceeded across the rocks to reach the casualty.

Declan provided immediate assessment , first aid, and ongoing care until the arrival of the National Ambulance Service paramedic and the RNLI. Working in coordination with the responding agencies, he assisted in the safe transfer of the injured casualty onto a stretcher and their subsequent loading onto the RNLI vessel for transport safely to shore, where care was formally handed over to the ambulance crew.

The Dublin Civil Defence Boat unit is composed of dedicated volunteers from all across Dublin Civil Defence who come together to provide specialist water-based support at events and emergency incidents throughout the county. Today’s response highlighted the importance of training, teamwork, and the commitment of our volunteers when called upon.

Well done to Declan and all volunteers involved in the response. Their professionalism and dedication are a credit to Dublin Civil Defence and to the volunteer ethos that underpins all of our work.

While we're taking a break from our regular training, our operational duties continue as normal.

This evening, Stephen and Karl provided medical cover for the annual BHAA/Dublin City Council 5K race, held in Sean Moore Park, Sandymount.

Whether it's training, community events, or emergency response, our volunteers continue to give their time to help keep people safe. Thank you to Stephen and Karl for representing the unit so professionally and for your continued commitment to serving the community.

Tonight we had our annual BBQ/Braai, a tradition that has become one of the highlights of the year for our unit.

While we spend most of our time together training, responding to incidents, or supporting events, evenings like this remind us that we're more than just Civil Defence volunteers—we're friends. It was great to sit down together, have a laugh, enjoy some good food, and look back on everything we've achieved so far this year.

A huge thank you to every volunteer in the unit. Your commitment, enthusiasm, and willingness to give up your own time to help others never goes unnoticed. We are all here because we choose to be, and because we genuinely enjoy what we do. That shared commitment is what makes this unit such a great team to be part of.

A special thank you to everyone who helped organise the evening, brought food, cooked on the BBQ, and helped tidy up afterwards. Your efforts made it another great night for the unit.

Here's to a well-earned summer break, we still attend duties ,events and call outs in lieu of regular training, we'll see everyone back refreshed and ready for the challenges and opportunities that the rest of the year will bring.
