Fire Services Council

This corporate body was established by the Minister for the Environment on 22 June 1983 under the Fire Services Act, 1981. The function of the Council is to provide courses of instruction for fire service personnel and other persons and to advise the Minister in relation to the educational and training needs of fire service personnel.

The Council published the Senior Officer, Junior Officer and Fire Fighters Handbooks for fire services personnel. These handbooks define basic principles for fire service work both managerial and operational aspects. A companion handbook, for Road Traffic Accidents, is currently being developed by the Council.
