emergency responding personnel across Ireland
Welcome to Rescue Organisation Ireland
Formed in March 2008 Rescue Organisation Ireland (ROI) has been built on the drive and commitment of members of the Irish Fire & Rescue Services (including support & assistance from colleagues in NI Fire & Rescue Service) as well as the support of the World Rescue Organisation.
ROI has now held 3 National Extrication Challenges (Dublin, Sligo & Dundalk) and 5 National Skills Development Days in Carlow, Dungarvan, Dundalk & Killarney fire stations.
The committee was officially formed and the ROI Constitution ratified in Sep 2008 by it's members who come from all corners of the island.
