Hi everyone!

I'm firefighter 7 years now, I live and work in Hungary, but I would like to move to Ireland in the near future.
Does anyone know what should I have to do to be firefighter in Ireland?
Should I send my CV for all HR Department?

or What is the first step?

Thank you in advance your help!

Not sure of the standard of training recieved in hungary so pardon my ignorance . But in ireland we are trained in
RTA , chemical incidents , fire fighting , comparment fire fighting , structural firefighting , high rise fire fighting , water awareness , gorse fires , car fires , bus train and tram rescue etc , lift rescue , pump operations ,

Specilist courses that may stand to you are
Driving , SRT , MER , high line rescue , paramedic ,

Depending on where you want to go to and if you are thinking of a years swap with another firefighter or permanent living here then full time vs retained depending on where you would live etc

Also its not all that easy to get a job in the fire services here ,

Hope this helps

I think we work the same duties (based on what I read)
There are many rescue drills in year (I live in capital, so I can exercise example metro-, tram-, train lifting/rescue/fire fighting.
There is no possibility for a firefighter who works in the countryside.)

I love my job, I'm good at my job, and I thought if I move to Ireland I would like to do this job there. We will see

Some friends live in Dublin, I'm going to talk with them and maybe I'll go to Ireland for a few days and look around, before I'll move to.

It isn't to be a vital issue for me, so if it fails, it wont collapses my world I just thought worth a shot
