There are two main divisions of firefighter: full-time firefighters and retained firefighters.
The Fire Service is also tasked with Fire Prevention. The main duties of a Fire Prevention Officer are to survey buildings under construction and existing buildings to ensure fire safety regulations are adhered to. Community Fire Safety is also under the remit of the Fire Service amongst other services.
Careers in the Irish Fire & Rescue Service fall into 2 categories:
