Cork City Fire Brigade has a proud tradition of service to the people of Cork City and the surrounding areas. Since its foundation Cork City Fire Brigade has seen many changes in its structure, strength and resources. The development of the Brigade has closely mirrored that of the City and continues to do so.

Today, Cork City Fire Brigade remembers all those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001 — the victims, their families, the first responders, and all those whose lives were changed forever by the events of that day.

Among them were 343 firefighters of the New York City Fire Department, who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to the attacks on the World Trade Center.

They ran towards danger when others were running away. They climbed the stairs of the World Trade Center with courage, determination and an unwavering commitment to protect and save others.

We remember every life lost.
We honour every sacrifice.
We especially remember the 343 firefighters who never came home.

Never forgotten.

🕯️ We Remember. We Honour. We Will Never Forget.

A lovely surprise at the station this weekend! 🧡

Members of Cork’s Indian community visited us to mark Rakshabandhan, a special festival celebrating the bond between siblings, where bracelets (rakhis) are tied as a symbol of protection and love.

They kindly extended that spirit to us, tying bracelets on our crew and treating us to some delicious homemade samosas, as a token of thanks for the service Cork City Fire Brigade provides to the public.

A huge thank you for such a thoughtful gesture — it really made our day! 🙏🧯

🔥 Help Prevent Gorse Fires This Summer 🔥

Over the past number of weeks, we have responded to several gorse fires across the city and surrounding areas. While they may appear small at first, gorse fires can spread rapidly in the current hot, dry conditions, threatening homes, wildlife, and putting firefighters at unnecessary risk.

You can help reduce the risk by:
🚫 Never lighting campfires or disposable BBQs in or near grassland or wooded areas.
🚬 Dispose of ci******es safely – never throw them from a car window or onto dry vegetation.
📞 If you spot a fire, move to a safe location and call 999 or 112 immediately. Do not attempt to tackle a spreading gorse fire yourself.

Together, we can help protect our communities, our countryside, and the crews working hard to keep everyone safe.

Crews are currently attending a three-vehicle road traffic collision on the South Ring Road westbound between the Mahon and Rochestown junctions.

Motorists should expect delays in the area and are advised to slow down and drive with caution. Gardaí and the National Ambulance Service are also at the scene.

Cork City Fire Brigade is urging the public to exercise caution during the current Yellow High Temperature Warning. Prolonged periods of hot, dry conditions increase the risk of dehydration, heat-related illness and outdoor fires. We ask everyone to stay hydrated, look out for vulnerable members of the community and avoid any activity that could accidentally ignite dry vegetation. Together, we can help keep Cork City safe during this period of elevated temperatures.

❌ Do not discard ci******es or matches from vehicles

UPDATE, crews have been in attendance assisting our colleagues corkcountyfire at a significant gorse fire in Crosshaven.

Firefighters worked tirelessly alongside each other for over four hours to bring the incident under control. Thanks to their coordinated efforts, the fire was successfully prevented from spreading to nearby homes, protecting local residents and property.

A great example of teamwork, professionalism and dedication by all crews involved.

We would also like to thank the public for their patience and cooperation while emergency services dealt with the incident.

Our crews have been kept busy responding to a variety of incidents across the city, including an aerial platform rescue from the roof of a building last week and a road traffic collision this morning. 🚒

With the current spell of hot weather, we’re reminding everyone to take extra care. Stay hydrated, limit prolonged exposure to the sun during the hottest parts of the day, and never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles.

Dry conditions can also increase the risk of fire. Please dispose of ci******es safely and take extra care when using BBQs or other outdoor heat sources.

Stay safe and enjoy the good weather responsibly. ☀️🚒

🚒☀️ Cork City Fire Brigade was out in force at this year’s Cork Summer Show, and what a fantastic day it was in the sunshine!

Visitors had the opportunity to meet their local firefighters, explore the Community Fire Safety Vehicle, and get a closer look at the specialist equipment used every day to keep our communities safe. Live demonstrations showcased Road Traffic Collision (RTC) equipment, Breathing Apparatus, and water rescue gear, giving families a real insight into the vital work carried out by CCFB.

Alongside the demonstrations, firefighters shared important fire safety advice, including:
🏠 Check your smoke alarms regularly
🚪 Keep doors closed at night
🗺️ Have a home escape plan
📞 In an emergency, Get Out, Stay Out and Call 999 or 112
📍 Know your Eircode to help emergency services reach you quickly

A key focus was also placed on the growing fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries in devices such as e-scooters and e-bikes. Visitors learned about the dangers of overcharging, charging overnight, and using damaged batteries or incorrect chargers.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet the crew and learn how small safety steps can make a big difference.
