🇮🇪🇧🇷 Ireland on the road to Rio 🇧🇷🇮🇪

Our ROI Extrication and Trauma Challenge teams continue to put in the work as preparations build for the World Rescue Challenge 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

During a recent training session, the teams received a very special surprise visit from H.E. Flávio Helmold Macieira, Brazilian Ambassador to Ireland.

It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the level of training, teamwork and technical skill that goes into preparing for the World Rescue Challenge, while also strengthening the connection between the Irish and Brazilian rescue communities.

The Ambassador took time to meet the teams, see their training in action and hear about the journey that has brought them to the international stage.
He wished our Irish Extrication and Trauma teams every success in Rio, where they will compete alongside the best rescue teams from around the world.

From training grounds in Ireland to the world stage in Brazil...

Teams representing Ireland are...

Extrication Team: Dublin Fire Brigade

Trauma Team: Dublin Fire Brigade
Trauma Team: Dublin Civil Defence

The countdown to Rio is on....

Rescue Organisation Ireland

CPC Training Day , Galway Airport

Focusing on Major Incident and Multi-Casualty Preparedness.

The day featured a series of engaging workshops covering

• Understanding Mass Casualty Events
• 10-Second Triage
• Tactical Trauma Care for Responders

Using highly realistic casualty simulation, (A big thank you to the Moulage Team) volunteers portrayed patients with a variety of simulated injuries, creating challenging scenarios that tested decision-making, communication, teamwork and clinical skills under pressure.

One of the highlights of the day was seeing volunteers and emergency responders from multiple organisations come together.

Many had never met or worked with one another before, yet they quickly built strong working relationships, communicated effectively, and operated as cohesive teams with one shared objective.... providing the best possible care to those who needed it most.

Training like this is invaluable. It not only develops individual skills but also strengthens inter-agency cooperation, ensuring we are better prepared to respond when major incidents occur.

Well done to all our Team at Rescue Organisation Ireland, Galway Civil Defence, all the instructors, casualty simulation volunteers, and every participant who made the day such a success.

Training Together. Learning Together. Saving Lives Together.
Together we make a difference....
