The recruits have graduated after a six month training regime, but will they be up to the challenge of life in the field?

Firefighters After six months the recruits are finally coming to the end of what has been a gruelling mental and physical challenge. This week they are called into action when a fire breaks out at a west Dublin industrial site, and it's another busy shift for the specially trained Advanced Paramedics.

It’s a race against time when a major house fire breaks out on the outskirts of Dublin. With the flames threatening to engulf neighbouring houses, the fire crews hit the ground running and need to make every second count.

Multiple crews are called out to an explosion on an unoccupied housing estate, and a group of firefighters travels to Niger to deliver some badly needed equipment.

The 25 recruits face the most challenging part of their programme as they undertake day one of their breathing apparatus training.

New recruits begins the training process to become firefighters, and a blaze at a warehouse in an industrial estate must be contained before it destroys the entire complex.
